Changing Attorneys

My I-140 has been pending since June 2002. My attorney said I would have to wait till the last day of projected time is up. So I did. But after that, I was not very happy with the way he followed up with INS. I indicated my displeasure. He got angry and he is resigning on my case. I have paid him in full for the entire GC process already.
I told it is fine if he has decided not to pursue my case but requested him to facilitate at least a smooth transfer. The new attorney wants to see copies of I-140 and ETA 750 A and B before he makes a decision to accept the case and my old attorney says he wants to see a G 28 copy signed before releasing the copies. Now I am stuck without any attorney for my case and I do not know if I get some RFE how do I go about? Could the previous attorney write to INS and withdraw his G28? What is the impact on my case in this situation? I have not heard anything from INS so far and it is almost one more week past the 240 days it says it would take maximum. Besides INS is processing Nov 2002 filed cases under the same category as mine. When I last called the INS myself on the 240th day, I was told by a good IIO, that this case has no reason not to have been adjudicated and that she would bring it to the supervisor's attnetion right away. Of course as I mentioned before, it has been one week since. I have not heard anything.
What are my options? My employer knows this situation and he has fortunately said he would support me with anything required of him.
Your advise would be highly appreciated.
