Article in English: Instead of waiting for your lawyer to inform you of what happened at a court hearing, try to attend the hearing yourself. Take notes and keep dates. Pay attention to the deadlines for filing important documents. If the judge reprimands your lawyer for forgetting to file something or for filing something late, then you know that your lawyer has not been acting diligently on your behalf. Be sure you are doing all that you are supposed to do so that your case isn't delayed or harmed because you did not provide necessary information.  Keep copies of all documents that you supply. If your attorney loses something, you can easily replace it. If you send documents to your attorney, confirm that your attorney received them. You can email your lawyer's secretary or paralegal for confirmation. Doing so allows you to stay up-to-date and monitor your lawyer's diligence.
