What is the name of your state? Illinois
I hired an attorney to represent me in a lawsuit involving a forged signature on a car loan. The lender made an offer of settlement which I would have taken but it was never advised to me, and my attorney refused the settlement. This was 10 years ago and we are now facing bankruptcy due to what the car dealer said was breach of contract. Is this a legitimate negligence on my attorney's part and can I sue him or file negligence charges against him. The lawsuit went to trial in 2000 and my attorney lost the case.
