Should I get another lawyer?

Jan 2008 my father was shot and killed in Missouri. My aunt and uncle decided to have their lawyer friend work on this case. There are a lot of strange things that happened as far as his death. It was obvious that my father was murdered. The guy who shot him got away with it because it happened in his own house. There was an inquest to to decide weather or not it would be taken to trial and it was decided yes, it definitely would be. Then there was another inquest in front for the judge to decide. The judge decided no it would not be taken to trial because of the state law I'm not sure what it's called but basically you have the right to shot and kill someone if you feel as if the person is a threat to your life. So many things that don't add up about this situation I will not get into. So my aunt and uncle have this lawyer friend who was going to help us out. They told me a should file a wrongful death suit against this man. This was decided shortly after his death, so I did. Well, right after the first inquest when they decided it would be taken to trial I called this lawyer to ask him what would happen next? He bitched me out and told me he is sick of people asking ignorant questions, he completely flipped out on me for asking him a simple question. I have not tried calling him since this happened. Then on the same day my aunt called me and said "we decided we want to suit him too but we need your permission because we would all have to do it together" then she told me that she wants me to itleast be able to buy a new car out of this deal!?!! I was in shock and never answered her back told her I had to go. This has been a difficult situation and I could care less about money! I just wanted this guy to pay for what he has done. He is an ex-cop who knew exactly what he was doing and how to get away with it. two weeks before he shot my dad he got pissed of at mt dads dog and threw the dog off his porch and then ended up giving my dads dog C.P.R. but when he shot my dad he did not even attempt to give him C.P.R. He said he didn't know how. There was also a rumor going round that his wife had a thing for my dad and was always coming on to him. My dad lived next door to these people and would always go over there to feed their horses and mow their lawn and him and my dad were alcholics and would drink together a lot. Also, this guy got away with sexual child abuse and his family has completely disowned him. The list of dirty deeds that this guy has done. Basically he got away with murder. What should I do about this asshole lawyer who refuses to talk to me and my money hungry relatives? Should I get a new lawyer? and how? I cannot afford a lawyer. I just don't want any of these people involved. Then, just a couple of weeks ago I received an email from my aunt and uncle saying that the wrongful death suit has just been filed? I signed a paper a long time ago for the wrongful death suit!!?! what is going on here? What should I do?
He was at his house Rejected because they were friends and neighbours and the dude invited him over to drink beer a lot. Yes, your right he is a criminal who doesn't put his puppy on a leash he got what was coming to him. He deserved to die.
 
Contact a different lawyer, and let them deal with the aunt and uncle.

The man who shot you dad should have had insurance on the house, I promise you that they are the ones that will pay.....

I appreciate your loss, but financially is the only way you will have an effect on this guy, so in that respect, your aunt was right. People deal with grief in different ways, without knowing her, I don't see how she is being money hungry.....
 
You could definitely try to consult another lawyer, but do you have the money to pay for him?

You might just be stuck with your aunts.

If that is the ONLY option, i think that you should just go along with what they're doing because if they want the $$, they will be putting some effort into the investigation.


But i am a firm believer that justice isn't always served. Unfortunately.

why was your dad in this mans house

you need to tell us why your dad was on or in his property.
your dad wasnt totally innocent
why wasnt your dads dog on a leash this whole country has a leash law
seems to me your father was a regular criminal who got what was coming to him

sorry not wrongful death when you dad was where he didnt belong
 
If you truly feel this was murder then yes get a new lawyer. It will cost you and that's the risk you have to take. However, it's been so long the evidence has already been picked through. You may just need to cut your losses and realize that knowing the truth isn't going to bring you're father back.
