I assume you mean "it's been 8 years from the time the dispute occurred." If so, the statute of limitations likely bars the lawsuit. A local attorney can tell you the statute of limitations for the case. If the statute of limitations has expired for the case, it is a good idea to have the attorney draft an answer form to the complaint including an affirmative defense of statute of limitations expiration. If you do not have an attorney draft an answer, be sure to add statute of limitations expiration as an affirmative defense in your answer to the summons and complaint.
The attorney must stop all action on the case except such as must be done to protect the client's interests. Once a lawyer is told he no longer represents the client, he/she may not act as a representative. However, if something of an administrative nature has to be done to protect the client, he may and most likely has a duty to act. +
You can file a complaint with the district attorney. However, in the grand scheme of things, your complaint will more than likely be unresolved and unaddressed. It is best to have an attorney write a warning letter and threaten further action if it ever happens again. If violence or threats are involved, you can file a restraining order.

Reading lawyer reviews can be the single greatest way to hire a great attorney for one's own case. One should never assume that all attorneys are alike, when searching for the perfect attorney to hire. The truth is that every attorney is different. Some attorneys are great at what they do, while other attorneys seek to take money from people and are not quite as skilled. Some attorneys are simply in it for the money, while other attorney genuinely have a concern for clients and want to help them. The latter type of attorney is the type one should seek to hire for one's case. By reading lawyer reviews, one can get a sense of an attorney's work ethic. When reading a review, a person should see whether or not a client mentions the availability of the attorney. What was the availability of the attorney like? How often did the attorney return phone calls or emails to the client, when the client needed the attorney most? By seeing the availability of an attorney and getting a sense of it, a person can get a sense of how much attorneys value the client. Also, a review will likely discuss how skilled the attorney actually is. One does not want to hire an attorney that may seem skilled, but turns out to lack thorough knowledge of state law or the issues governing a case. All too often, clients can be wooed by an attorney's prestigious law school attendance. However, just because an attorney may have attended Yale or Harvard does not mean that attorney works hard and will do a great job for the client. A client needs to hear from other clients through attorney reviews, what an attorney's work ethic really was like. Only by reading a review will a client be able to tell whether the attorney has an good work ethic. One more practical thing a person can learn from reading lawyer reviews is the way in which the lawyer bills clients. Does the lawyer end up overcharging clients with unnecessary fees? If so, this is the sort of lawyer any client should stay away from. Or, does the attorney truly work hard for the high sums of money he or she makes? If an attorney works hard, then he or she likely deserves to be paid well. These are just some key things to keep in mind when reading lawyer reviews.
Most likely, privileged communication = conversation between the attorney and the client.
the result of choices the client made
Since they are stars, most likely they will not respond at all. If they do respond, you are lucky.
A landlord can evict you for ANY reason. But will he win? That's the real question!! Well it works like this: if you file a housing complaint and your landlord evicts you, and you can prove it's because of the complaint, then this is called retaliatory behavior on the part of the landlord, and you can fight the eviction, and most likely win. In many states you can then sue your landlord for damages of up to three months rent abatement, court costs and any attorney fees.
