What is the name of your state? PA

I hired an attorney to handle a ex-employer's Prommissory Note that he was attempting to collect on . This woman screwed everything up. She never contacted several witnesses whose names I had given her, she lost important paperwork and she gave me some very bad advise.

Initially I asked her to give me an estimate of costs on whether or not she thought I had a case BEFORE she started nickling and diming me.

The day before we were to meet at the courthouse for the hearing, I confronted her about all of her screw-ups. She actually told me that it would "probably be better if I mitigated the case myself and if I didn't have a lawyer, the judge would go "easy on me"!

Then she sent me a $2200 bill! I flipped.

I advised her that I was going to report her to the Bar Association for her incompetence unless she retracted the fees.

Then her law firm sent me a "Mutual Release" letter, stating that they would forgive my debt, provided I didn't report her to any authorities.

Do I have a case against her?

I ended up losing the case for $7,500 plus hours of time from my job.
