What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WV
I had lien on person's property from Magistrate Court in 2001. That home sold in 2003 and the attorney missed my lien. I just discovered in 2008. Have sent certified letters to atty, and Bank that financed $93,000. Bank finally responded stating that the attorney would offer me $900 to settle (original lien $1800, plus 10% interest). I responded stating no thanks. I've asked for name of Title Insurance Company so I could file a claim with them, but was told only the attorney has that information and he won't give it to me. Now I don't know whether to go to Circuit Court & file a complaint against that attorney, the bank and new owners and start "foreclosure" proceedings to get my money, or just let it ride and then my kids would have a nice little inheritance..... would prefer to have money now, almost $4000.
I filed complaint with the WV State Bar Association and they stated it was alleged malpractice, but it was not "unethical", and they dismissed my case.
