Yes I did have a case. I asked 3 different attorneys advice re; this issue and they all said, at the most I would end up paying half of the 10k. which I was ok with, if, that happened.

What my post reads is attorney FAILED, FAILED, FAILED, did you read that part?
Im wondering if anyone has any advice whether this is malpractice or not?
Thaks anyways for your comment. R

Sometimes, just because an attorney 'failed failed failed' does not mean that the attorney did anything wrong.

My mechanic took three tries to fix my truck and it is still not right, but does that mean that he actually did something wrong??? No.

Losing a case doesn't give you the automatic right to say he/she failed you. There is ALWAYS a loser and a winner in every case. You were the LOSER in this one...which you knew b/c 3 'other attorneys' told you you were going to have to pay half the amount. So instead you ended up paying the entire amount...Life sucks.

As with many posters, there is more to this story, just look at their other threads and they have already been given their answer. BTW in one place they claim it is paid, in another the creditor said the amount due is $0. It doesn't say WHO paid it, maybe that is why the court ordered they pay the petitioner. I am not going to tell them again what they can do because they don't listen and keep asking the quesiton because they don't like the advice.
