Better to have a talk with your lawyer and ask him for the reason to delay.

First of all remove him from the matter and engaged a new lawyer. then write a letter to that advocate and ask him for such delaying and neglency. if you find some reason then you can file a complaint before bar council and also claim damage with which you suffered and return of your fees.

If your advocate is not fulfilling his obligations after acceptance of brief and receipt of fees, you can file a complaint of professional misconduct against him before the Bar Council and can also sue him for recovery of the fees not earned by him. But before initiating such legal proceedings, it will be better to get your brief from him and engage another lawyer so that your case is not adversely affected.
