Q: Wrongful co op sales. I hired CASA to help me save my co op and it was sold. They didn't stop the sale.
They told me they would resend the sale, but they didn't. My co op told me to get a lawyer. I have been trying to get one but, can't find anyone to help me.
A:
It doesn't sound like the co-op sale was wrongful, so much as you might not have had a fair opportunity to combat it (due to alleged attorney failure).
Consider reaching out to new counsel in an effort to rescind the sale. If necessary, the filing of a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy could allow you to claw the property back - but you'll want to carefully review this matter with an attorney prior to making any final decisions about your legal strategy.
Good luck!

A: It would require an Order to Show Cause in State court. At least $5000 in legal fees. Maybe more. And, without seeing more, I am not sure you have a chance.
