Does anyone know the course of action when an attorney stops communication with the client?
My son was parked in our driveway when police apparently shot each other, then blamed my son. My son did NOT fired his weapon during the time the police were exchanging gunfire in the driveway. Police later shot and killed my unarmed son without evidence that he ever fired his weapon during the time the police were exchanging gunfire in the driveway. Phil Berg has been representing me as we prove that. I have only had three extremely brief conversations with Phil and one email from his paralegal since October 6, 2008. Phil did not notify me of a court date, and today I received a forwarded letter stating that I failed to appear.
Does anyone know the course of action when an attorney stops communication regarding court dates? Does anyone have any suggestions regarding continuing the suit on my own?
All comments welcome. Thanks so much for you help.

The timing of your last contact with Berg is not a coincidence. As you may or may not know, Berg has been filing frivolous lawsuits about President Obama since Aug 2008. Berg is spending a significant amount of time on these cases. He also spends a good amount of time promoting his cases on radio shows and any other media outlet that will give him a second of their time.
I don't know if you are aware of this, but Berg has been sued for malpractice (for similar behavior) and he lost. He was fined $10,000 and was ordered to attend ethics classes. This was in 2005.
Here are some links to info regarding Berg's sanctions and malpractice suit.

These 2 documents look quite similar, but have different dates and different info.
I hope this helps.
I have learned that Phil Berg is undergoing disciplinary actions before the PA State Bar for failure to represent another plaintiff. You can read the PA Bar disciplinary complaint here:

This document was provided in another case that has little to do with Berg (Berg wants to be a lawyer for the plaintiff but the defendant is trying to block him; it is a bunch of birther non-sense). However, you may find the above document interesting. It may be in your interest and is in the public interest to contact the PA State Bar and let them know more about your experiences with Berg.
While Berg did have a disciplinary hearing on 2/23/11, the Bar is still discussing his punishment. It is not too late for you to share your experience with the PA State Bar.
