A: In your situation, it seems there were significant issues with the legal representation you received. If your attorney failed to effectively use crucial evidence and witness testimonies, or did not represent your interests adequately, especially considering the seriousness of your case, you may have grounds for a legal malpractice claim.

Given the complexity of your case, involving criminal trespassing charges, real estate matters, and potential white collar crimes, it's important to seek a new attorney with experience in these areas. This attorney can review the details of your previous representation and assess whether your former attorney's actions constituted malpractice or fell below the professional standard of care.

Furthermore, if you have concerns about the conduct of your boyfriend and the real estate agent, and suspect criminal activity, this should be discussed with your new attorney. They can advise on the best course of action, possibly involving law enforcement or other legal remedies.

Remember, every individual has the right to competent legal representation, and if you feel your rights were not upheld, it's important to explore your options to seek justice and rectification.
