| Is my lawyer guilty og legal malpractice |
| My attorney and several of his friends decided to go into business together. each member played a role to obtain their shares legal work for shares,accounting for shares ect. A corporation was formed. For personal reasons I decided to have my shares put in my daughters name, however before the shares were issued she left the company ( resigned ). I depended on the attorney to amend the corp files but he never did. he was notified recently about a large sum of money held by the state of florida uncollected funds. he made a claim for the funds and split it with the accountant and never notified other shareholders. My daughter also go a big portion of another large check because he failed to take her off the corporate file. no shares were ever issued and the corporation disolved because he did not file proper corp papers. he used a bogus tax reurn to collect the money from the state plus many more even disturbing violations, so far lost over 90 grand |
| In Florida can a police officer write in a police report for an unrelated issue, that a man was Bake |
| While investigating a police matter for a completely unrelated issue, and filing a report that never resulted in any charges, the officer makes note of a prior Baker Act (an issue of medical record) of an individual that was not divulged by the individual, thus making it public knowledge as the report is a public record. Is this legal, and as it shows up on thorough background checks, can it be expunged? |

| I had a case for a slip and fall going on for 41/2 yrs. The firm was sold, and the new firm told me |
| There were 3 parties involved. I was told that one of the parties couldn't be located, that was one of the reasons it was taking long. I called periodically to get updates on my case. At one point through the new firm that one of the named parties back in Jan. tried to respond to the court summons, and was told that the case was dismissed a year & a half ago, because my lawyer didn't follow up. The new firm told me that it would be considered legal malpractice, and there were a few people that were in the same situation. I really need help on this because due to that incident, that happened almost 5 years ago, I was forced to go on disability, and now permanent disability. |
| Can I sue for Legal Malpractice |
| My trial attorney cost me 7 plus years of my life because he rushed my case to trial without any investigations, and he did not call any experts, even though two were critical. He is also ineffective counsel because his error during trial caused the outcome of trial to be different. It is documented he needed more time to prepare for trial, but he failed to get a trial postponement. He breached his written contract by not doing any investigations and by not calling any experts at trial. |
