Do you have a receipt for payment?
Have you called the lawyer's firm?
Call the bar association next I guess. Not sure what recourse you have if you paid cash and don't have the receipt.

First thing you do is get someone to kick you in the butt for paying something that important with cash and not following up on it for a year.
Next, see if the attorney is still in practice.
Next, find the phone number to register a complaint against an attorney, call and find out the procedure, have them fax you any necessary forms.
Next call that attorney and see if he will fix it.
If he doesn't, file the complaint, and call NC's DMV to find out what must be done to correct it. You may find you need to hire another attorney.

The first thing you need is a receipt from the lawyer. Do you have one? Yes...then contact the bar association in your state. No. Suck it up.
