Legal Question

default

My attorney failed to respond to a motion by opposing counsel. This caused my case to go into default. He stated that he suffered a mental illness and that is why he did not respond.

Re: default

If your attorney's inaction caused you economic loss he is liable to you for that loss. Write to him and notify him he should contact his professional liability insurance carrier and have them get in touch with you. If that doesn't work, contact a lawyer in your area to investigate your rights. Also, the AZ Bar Association would be interested in your problem.
