For your federal tax refund you can contact a Taxpayer Advocate.  See this IRS website for Taxpayer Advocate in your area and a toll free number - http://www.irs.gov/Advocate/Local-Taxpayer-Advocate

I agree with Don that the Taxpayer Advocate can at times speed up delayed refunds.  However, I have never heard of them expediting the processing of a return and the normal three week refund period.
