Failure to communicate without knowing the reason by itself would not be sufficient for a malpractice claim; however, if the failure to communicate results in adverse consequences in the active case(s), that would give rise to a malpractice claim. Consider contacting the State Bar regarding the attorney's failure to communicate.
