My attorney's family is very sick, and he is out of town to take care of them, so he did not appear in court to represent me for the last 2 months, and the court may dismiss my case because my attorney has not appeared in court. I filed the Statement case management in pro per. Will the judge accept it? Do I need to send the proof of service to the defendant's attorney, my attorney, and the court? Can I use my sister to file the proof of service?

I was in a restaurant business with my wife, where she ran the business and I constructed the building. She never paid the withholding taxes for employees, and my name was on the corporation. After she left, I had to close the business, and my building and home were foreclosed on. The IRS claims I owe them $51,000 and placed a lien against me. I am on Social Security and have no resources. Do I need an attorney to negotiate a settlement with the IRS, or should I try to do it myself? If an attorney is needed, how can I find a local one specializing in this discipline, and how can I check their record?
