Legal Malpractice: Feel I Am Loosing My Case Because My Attorney is Not Doing Her Job

My question involves malpractice in the state of: Louisiana, I hired my attorney to help recover from a physical injury I had but had healed and returned to work from. Upon my return I was discriminated against and suffered a mental injury. The opposing side denied the injury even occurred leaving me with no payment of any benefits for two years. There have been times my attorney would go weeks without returning my phone calls. Then out of the blue they would get in touch with me and let me know we have a hearing in two days. I really felt that my attorney let my case sit on the back burner and I just thought these things take time and that was why she wasn't doing any work on my case at the time. But then we go to this hearing and everything goes well yet there was some falsified evidence the opposing council submitted. I told my attorney ahead of time that they planned on using this to make me look bad. I saved copies of my pay stubs and some of them proved that the document they submitted was falsified. When opposing council submitted the falsified document my attorney objected on the fact the information was false and when my lawyer was asked for any evidence to prove this aligation he was not able to provide them with a copy of my pay stubs because he did not print a copy out and bring it to the hearing. I told my attorney ahead of time about bringing a copy to court and double checked when we met up before court and he said we won't be needing that. I was upset that he was not prepared but we did do good. After all this I really felt that it was not just a slow process, I really felt that my attorney and her firm was putting me on the back burner and waiting until there was a hearing or something to do anything on my case leaving us unprepared for court dates and deadlines. So I wrote my attorney expressing how I felt about how they was handling my case. I did this in efforts to clear the air and refresh what I was expecting and what they was willing to do on my case and to also I thought that maybe I just wasn't understanding things correctly. I never got a response back for weeks. Then all of the sudden out of the blue again my attorney sends and e-mail stating the exact 180 degrees difference of my chances of my case doing well at trial. So no facts have changed and matter of fact now we had a doctor back up my injury claim which I thought would do nothing but help my case further. So she insists on sending a really low settlement offer which it took three emails and two attorney client conferences to convince me this was the best route for my case. Opposing council took weeks to get back to my attorney and when they did now all of a sudden they would be interested in settling if I would be willing to settle my workers comp case along with my EEOC discrimination case. As unhappy I am with their performance on my workers comp case I made it clear they were to not do any work on my EEOC case. When I informed them I had an attorney to represent me for any part of settlement dealing with EEOC they ended up backing out of any mediation being done at all. My attorney said it was opposing council but I have my doubts because I was still willing to talk settlement for both just that I would have an attorney for workers comp and one for EEOC, but since the mediation was never set up.

My question is can i fire my workers comp attorney at trial? Do I just go through with my case the way it is for now and try to recover damage later? Like if I loose would I have the chance to get another attorney and get a retrial? And any advice on what I should do is greatly appreciated!
