Looking for a lawyer who can give me advice about a personal injury lawsuit. [View all]

I was hit by a driver, eventually filed suit and now I don't want to deal with it for a number of different reasons, the main one being my mental health. I just need to know the best way to get out of it. Ignore the lawyer and let them withdraw or fire them? Which one has liability? Lawyer strikes me as potentially vindictive. Any help greatly appreciated.
