Question

The last attorney I had refused to answer or return my phone calls.
She made a decision, without informing me, to withdraw two appeals via her "contact" at the St Petersburg VA Regional Office that I had submitted for hearing loss and tinnitus
I revoked her legal representation.
This attorney refuses to waive the legal fees.
I have tried, without success, to obtain new legal representation by other law firms.
Once I send the law firm the letter they request showing where I released my former attorney, usually in a day or two, I get contacted informing me they will not be able to take my appeals.
One attorney told me he was going to call and speak with my former attorney before he took my case.
After their discussion, he declined to represent me.
I have asked other law firms why they refused to take my appeals, and the standard response is, "We are declining representation and by our actions of refusal of representation does not indicate that your appeals are without merit.."

Veterans can appeal Legal Fees- I helped a local vet years ago who had been represented twice at the CAVC- and whose lawyers did nothing to help him. VA was withholding 8 thousand dollars from hi

There are over 300 decisions at the BVA regarding Legal fees in 2017- and 2018 so far and they probably contain the regulations I used, that govern payment of and appealing those fees.
