Is 12 weeks too long to have any sort of actions or complaints filed?

New YorkConstruction Contract

Hello, I'm seeking assistance and a consultation pertaining to a case I have ongoing. I have an attorney but I feel as if they aren't doing much to help me. The individual in which my complaint is about happens to be a powerful person in my small local area. It seems as if it's impossible to get my attorney to file any actions (complaint, liens, prompt payment etc.). It's been about 12 weeks since this individual breeched contract and haven't been paid our final invoice of over $22,000. That does not include equipment that this individual had me buy to work at his facility which is another $30,000+/-. Lastly which is in my complaint that has been completed 8-9 weeks ago that I paid for that still hasn't been filed is lost work which was promised. We were awarded a project additional to the project were already in the middle of both with an estimated total of over $800,000 (just our share). I have paid my attorney every time she has asked, on the same day every time, totaling over $5,000, which may not seem like much but that's what she has asked for and I haven't had anything filed at all, even though upon several payments she promised to have either the complaint or one of the three liens filed, and she has also promised numerous times that she would get me my overdue invoice right away, which I haven't. She also tells me I cannot add my attorneys fees to said invoice along with that I can't add interest to it either. And while all these delays and mishaps are taking place construction on the project we were performing has completed and the construction on the next project we were awarded is underway. Reducing the effectiveness of the liens I asked to be filed. Do you feel as if I'm being represented correctly? Thank you, Dustin Grassi
