Attorney malpractice
How/where do I find an attorney who will sue another attorney? Divorce lawyer handed a hearing off to an unprepared ''colleague'' resulting in me having to file an amended tax return and repay the IRS $5000+. Then he withdrew from my case with 2 days notice, less than 30 days to the pre-trial hearing, and 3 days from my husband's Contempt of Court threat. He refused to release my file to another attorney unless I signed a ''substitute of attorney'' form. My new lawyer is trying to clean up the mess. Should I report this to the MN Professional Responsibility Board myself? 4 lawyers I checked with are of the opinion that this guy ''wastes people's money, wastes the court's time, and give inappropriate advice. Thanks for any help you can give me.
