You said the fiduciary was court appointed. Did you get notice of the ex parte hearing? More facts would be needed to determine if you have any recourse. Seek counsel for a private consultation so that you can provide all the facts of your situation for a thorough evaluation.

You are free to sue for your fees as an independent contractor, if that is what you were. Even as an independent contractor, if you created intellectual property during the course of those duties, that property would likely belong to the person who contracted with you to create it.
Attorney after he falsified the Plaintiff declaration, he has filled it with the court, knowingly that declaration is false, for a lawsuit for 25,5 Millions, by using a false declaration.
Without falsification of Plaintiff declaration, this lawsuit couldn't be filed.

Get an attorney and present your evidence to a jury at trial. The judge cannot decide whether the declaration is false. The Plaintiff says its true. The jury gets to decide.
The plaintiffs attorney dated and signed document, missing stamp.
That's how it works. Plaintiff's counsel dates and signed the Request for Dismissal, then it is delivered to the Clerk to be stamped. Presumably, Plaintiff's counsel has served you with the unstamped copy, and you will later be served with the stamped copy.

She left me a voice mail stating this loud and clear and repeated her self twice . she would notify me when the court re opened ,in the mean... Read more »
Sorry about what happened. I would make sure that her office knows what happened to you and see if there is any way to help get your $2000 back. Unlikely, but worth a try.
Keep those VMs!
Good luck!
I'm not sober drunk and high on drugs. They're all seeking advantage of me doing white collar crime fraud scheme. What is it called by code of law?Can I suspend their licence bar?
A lawyer involved in a 'white collar crime fraud scheme' would surely face the loss of their license with the state bar, not-to-mention criminal prosecution. You can file a complaint at The California State Bar website- calbar.ca.gov or call (800) 843-9053. It might be wise to consult... Read more »
My present husband was erroneously added to an Abstract of Judgment against me from my ex husband. Now his sole and separate property which he purchased with inherited funds has a cloud on it's title. The attorney for my ex husband has continuously filed and recorded documents with no legal basis.
There are too many variables and unknowns to give you a conclusive and complete answer, but we can move towards one. An abstract of Judgment is supposed to accurately reflect the terms of the Original Judgment. Accordingly, your first task is to compare the Abstract to the Judgment. If your... Read more »
Attorney was sent all the bills to handle and include as part of settlement package. They had all the info on medical bills so that I would not have to worry about coordination. Once we settled, I thought everything had been completed and paid. 3 yrs later, I got a medical bill saying after... Read more »
You should have an accounting or breakdown of the fees, costs, and medical expenses that were paid out of the settlement. If that document claims that a medical bill was paid, but it was not, you have a claim.
If your attorney left that medical bill off the accounting, then it wasn't... Read more »
1-current gand jury is unconstitutional. FBI goes to grand jury to get a sure conviction. Fbi on same day brings case to Judge and gets warrant. Arrest you and lie and say your arraignment is your due process. I think this is a clear violation of due process along with the violation one goes... Read more »
Some misconceptions:
1. Grand juries are not unconstitutional.
2. The FBI does not go to the grand jury, that is the prosecutor's job.
3. Arraignment is one of the pieces of your "due process", which continues through your trial, conviction and appeal.... Read more »

Your case is being processed by a US District Court. There are no forms, but there are a lot of rules that you must follow. Federal Courts are very strict on the rules. Best if you retain an attorney to assist you, District Court Judges are not very patient with Pro Per plaintiffs.... Read more »
Been a very difficult experience. We hired an attorney to represent my girlfriend in an alimony case. This is the worst experience I've ever encountered in terms of representation. While reviewing the billing, I noticed the Attorney billed my girlfriend to complete a form to request a change... Read more »
It is not unlawful, but it may be improper. First, you have to look at your retainer agreement. Next, you should discuss your concerns with the attorney- maybe he used a computerized billing program that automatically billed for all tasks recorded, and he is willing to remove the charge. (I would... Read more »
I paid the attorney to file an answer to a unlawful detainer and when we went to court he didn't say one word and the papers I had served says we defaulted
Sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, I must tell you what you really don't want to hear- you need to go to a new attorney to review the situation with the UD and with the work of your prior attorney to see if legal malpractice was committed by him. Look for attorneys here on... Read more »
The counsel is saying the prenuptial has "holes in it." Ex wants 110K because the prenup won't stand in court due to her errors/fraudulent work. He wants alimony. The clearly addressed all this with the prenup lawyer.
You are premature in looking at a legal malpractice lawsuit. As with almost all civil litigation, you must prove damages in order to prevail. At this point, from the facts stated, you have no damages. All you have is a demand from your former spouse's attorney that your prenup will not... Read more »
You need to ask your primary attorney that question. He/she should have all the relevant information to answer that question. It's difficult to even guess at an answer based on what you have provided.
1. You are in the Calfornia forum for legal malpractice. Ask in the Oregon forum for criminal defense.
2. Tell him to stop setting things on fire. It does literally nothing to make whatever point he championing.
Hello, I live in California, I hired a personal lawyer back at the end of June 2020. I told him I didn't want the case to drag on forever and I'd be fine with the settlement originally offered, I was afraid of not getting proper medical care. The money is great but not the most important... Read more »
Your lawyer might have a claim to some of the fees. It's really hard to fully understand the situation with what you have said but there is a good chance he/she has earned some percentage of the 33 and possibly the whole amount. Sometimes it's the other side that slows things up.
As well if I worked for a law firm does my boss take some money from the 33% I earned or is it varied on different law firms
The money that an attorney receives for working on a case is taxable income. The amount that the firm receives depends on your contract with the firm. These are really pretty basic business questions and if you are working for a firm. who is representing the client? The firm or you, individually.... Read more »
