Illinois | Legal Malpractice
Legal Question
I sued a multi billion dollar company for 'breach of contract' more than six years ago, and I have finally won a jury verdict for a considerable sum ( their 'appeal' is about to be thrown out ). My attorney made some incomprehensible errors, and we had to settle for substantially less.
What is the procedure for making a claim against my attorney's share of the proceeds so that I can negotiate with him, or have arbitration, and still get my agreed upon share released to me from his escrow account at settlement?
I don't want to sue him for malpractice or anything else, because I don't want to go through another law suit. I will negotiate fairly with him, and give up a fair share to him, but I can't afford to have my share held up while I challenge him.
I am in Los Angeles, but the trial and judgment are in Illinois.
