Q: How and what to file suit against an attorney for delay tactics and the emotional distress and monetary losses associate
The case has taken more than 5 years. Every time there is a deadline it is missed. We submitted a piece of evidence into record and the attorney was given 15 days to reply with its admissibility. That was 49 days ago. This is a trend and I believe it is to try to run my funds dry so I cannot keep continuing with the case. Opposing Council is a partner in a firm. Can I hold him and his firm liable? What recourse can I take?
A: If you believe your lawyer has committed malpractice on your case, you should consult with another attorney to review your file and advise whether he agrees. You have a right to receive either the original or a copy of your file.
