You can sue your attorney for malpractice, but this can be difficult and expensive.  In addition to hiring a new trial lawyer, you will need another lawyer to testify as an expert witness on your behalf.  Any type of professional negligence case must be supported by expert testimony that the defendant's conduct fell below the standard of care.  You also must proved that you should have won the prior without if it weren't for the first attorney's negligence. Finally, you must show that you could have collected the judgment if you HAD one.

Not necessarily. Keep going with your case. Talk to your lawyer.

Go to a lawyer (look in the phone book, many offer free consultations) and tell them your story.  If they think you have a winnable case, then they can represent you in a lawsuit.

If you get in touch with the States Attorney office they will be able to give you the address of the office you need to speak to. Just tell them you have grievance against a lawyer.

If this lawyer is indeed not doing her job, and you believe this to be a true violation of your client-attorney relationship, then you should report your lawyer to your state's American Bar Association.\n\nThere is a two-inch-thick manual of ABA approved rules of professional conduct for lawyers and if your lawyer is violating rules of diligence and competence, then you are more than entitled to get your retainer back. \n\nTechnically, a lawyer cannot spend any of the retainer money until his or her assigned tasks (for which the money was paid) have been completed. Therefore, unless your lawyer has carried out the tasks you agreed on, that money should still be there. \n\nConsider the following questions before you contact the ABA:\n(1) How long has it been since your lawyer contacted you about your case?\n(2) How complicated was the task assigned?\n(3) Does the attorney work for a firm where you could try contacting the firm first?

Contact the Clerk of Courts, explain that you filed the wrong papers and ask them how to correct it.  Good Luck!

Your question needs clarification.  What were you suing the prosecutors office (the D.A.'s office?) for?\n\nIf you were charged with a crime, it was not a civil suit.  If you are scheduled to appear in court on a criminal matter, and you fail to appear, even if you have agreed with the prosecutor to dismiss the charges, you have just added another misdemeanor.  You've breached the agreement with the prosecutor, and they can pursue both the original charge and the failure to appear charge.\n\nIf you missed an appearance in the civil suit, generally you wont be charged with the failure to appear, but the court may sanction you, and if it was wilful or for an important appearance, the court might dismiss your suit.\n\nDespite all this, it is hard to answer your question because it is not clear what term you are looking for.

find out if there is an attorney who would accept your case on a contingency fee basis; you don't pay your attorney unless he/she wins the case.  negligence has many different aspects.  check with your state bar association for attorneys who will work on cases like these.

This is a bizarre story. Surely you must have been taken in front of the judge to explain the settlement, and surely you must have been represented by a "guardian ad litem"?\n\nYou should contact a mental health charity for advice and assistance. It may be possible to reopen your case.\n\nIt's not possible to comment on the your lawyer's conduct other than to say that she may have made a mistake, may have based an incorrect judgment on wrong facts given to her, or may have settled a dispute on the best terms possible. In the first case, her errors and omissions insurance may be liable to pay for any malpractice judgment. In the second and third cases, while she may be faulted for not explaining herself adequately she would have done nothing obviously wrong.

I am sorry about your injuries.\n\nI suggest you ask your last lawyer, or any other lawyer you know, for recommendations.\n\nYour question is too serious to expect to get sound advice from Yahoo Answers.

I know an excellent lawyer his name is Tim Warren he is out of St Joseph missouri. yes you may have a case with some more of the details. These are not simple cases, you should have went to the manager in the first place that is a big thing they will use against you. So, talk with an atty who can get all the details. Dates are very important and if you still have the e-mails print them out and save them all from you and from him. Good luck

Like the other person said, get a hold of your old attorney and explain the situation. Your second should have been included. I fyour attorney made a mistake, he is liable for any damages you suffer as a result from this. It seems like your second got transfered to the loss mitigation department and what they stated, is normal protocol for a second to do.\n\nRegards

I think it would be best to talk to a lawyer in your state as the laws vary...I am so sorry that this is happening to you.\n It is a horrible feeling as I too am in the same boat as you.
