What is the name of your state?oh
My sis- in - law filed in KY at the beginning of Oct., paid her fee to the lawyer , had everything turned in, the whole nine yards. She has just received a letter in the mail last week from her lawyer stating that he forgot to submit the paperwork for her BK. He admits it was his fault and says that he will give her her money back. She then in turned stated that she is now behind on one months worth of bills. He apologized and said that maybe she should look into another lawyer doing it under the new laws. Long story short, she did that and it won't help her any...
Does she have any legal rights against this lawyer? He did tell her that she could sue him because he has insurance for these types of mistakes...She is so confused and I told her I would ask on here. If she does sue, would it just be for the money she is currently behind on for this past month or sue for what she would have had relief from under the old laws for BK?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
