| legal malpractice What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
After my perusal of [url=http://www.law.cornell.edu/ethics/mi/narr]Michigan Legal Ethics[/url] Rule 1.1:400 and related area, it has become apparent that as I could not find an attorney to represent me in a foreclosure action and as I had depended on the banks attorney that said attorney owed me a duty to help, not hinder, the sale of my home during the reclamation period. I did follow his direction and was lied to.
When I, my purchaser, because of information found on the internet that the bank owned the property, had requested a quit claim or other reassurance that he would gain title on receipt of funds in a 100% bank to bank wire transfer the banks attorney refused frustrating my purchaser causing me, and others, harm.
Under the above there are three examples of possible attorney non client liability and I know that I can fulfill the requirements/elements of all separately or severally. However, I can find no specific case law to bolster my argument.
What I am asking, and as the bank ended up selling the property for much less than they would have received should they have provided as above, did the attorney not have a duty or fiduciary responsibility to the bank, its shareholder as well as myself and my purchaser to provide all necessary information to effect the sale. I believe I can also prove undo enrichment as the attorney also owns a mortgage default processing firm that found such under foreclousre that he would not have found in redemption.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |
