The lawyer is paying the chiopractos and specialist before me.

What is your question? You have a lawyer handling a $1000 claim? You need to see a psychiatrist, not a chiropractor.
You had a contract with Lawyer 1 for 33% and he gave your contract to Lawyer 2 who wants 50%? That's impossible. The new lawyer would have to accept the original 33% contingency fee to which you previously agreed with Lawyer 1. File a complaint with the state bar association.
