If a lawyer is not in contact, you can try the following steps: 1. _Call or email_: Reach out to the lawyer's office via phone or email to check if they received your messages. 2. _Send a formal letter_: Write a formal letter to the lawyer, outlining your concerns and requesting a response. 3. _Check online platforms_: If you used an online platform to connect with the lawyer, check for updates or messages. 4. _Contact the bar association_: Reach out to the local bar association or regulatory body to file a complaint or seek guidance. 5. _Seek a second opinion_: Consider consulting another lawyer for advice on how to proceed. 6. _File a complaint_: If you believe the lawyer is neglecting your case, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities. Remember to stay calm, professional, and persistent in your attempts to establish contact.
