Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York
Pariah attorneys
An attorney that worked on a USA house closing misappropriated the escrow funds and it took me 11 years to track the $ in England. He was subsequently suspended for six years.
The conspirator demanded a General Release from his co-conspirator, the suspended lawyer, who wouldn't sign unless I agreed to pay him ''tribute'' I hired a solicitor in England and he was able to secure a judgment in my favor against conspirator in the UK.
The suspended attorney named the Solicitor as a defendant in civil case and the solitor demanded that I give him an indemnification which I did with the idea that he was to use my US attorney.
He agreed then he decided to hire a different atty and although the amt at issue is $100,000 USD his US attorney has wracked up over $176m in legal fees a/o 9/07. It is now 5/08 and the UK Solicitor is still in the case and he keeps spending my judgment $
the new US atty continues to wrack up legal fees yet he has accomplished nothing but spend my $.
I believe that the UK Solicitor & US atty are culpable . Comments?

Re: Pariah attorneys
I think that you have been had by everybody. I would suggest that you seek additional legal advice as soon as possible. It is incredible that you would spend $176,000 to get back $100,000. There are legal means available in NYS to get your money back much easier.
If you would like to talk to me further please give me a call.
