the divorce started in March 2005. She charges $250 an hour. what is an 'agreement'? My ex knows to many people that can give him advice to get around things in the divorce.

If you do switch - make sure you have copies available of everything the other lawyer has done. Also - make sure the new lawyer is willing to accept the other person's work and go from there. Otherwise - you will be starting from scratch and will incur more charges. To owe $12,000 - I have to ask how much your lawyer charges per hour? That sounds extremely high for the average divorce. You should meet with him and express your dissatisfaction and ask for a recommendation. That might inspire him to put more effort into your case. Lawyers are extremely competitive.
Also - if your agreement specifies you have a right to your property he has locked up - take a copy to your local police department and they will escort you to your house to pick up your belongings.
