What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH
1.) If an attorney failed to inform his 'client of record' of upcoming court dates so she was unable to protect or defend her interests; the attorney himself failed to appear at the court trials; and furthermore didn't file any motions on 'clients' behalf until AFTER the case was decided. And yes, his actions absolutely effected the outcome of the trial! What criminal charges would he be guilty of?
2.) Let's just say the above 'client' was so misinformed & led astray by the atty, said 'client' went on to spend nearly $10k in remodeling her home AFTER it had been foreclosed on in the court of law. HOWEVER, the 'client' had received 0 communication from the atty other than email requests for information pertaining to a Deed in Lieu 1mos AFTER the judge foreclosed on the 'client' without her knowledge.
The attorney finally told the 'client' on September 16, 2009, that her house was going to sell at the sheriff’s auction on September 22, 2009! The very property she had been pouring money into and busting her ass to make into a home beautiful in hopes of selling it through her hired realtor, and had been trying to refinance through countrywide, or at a minimum, make it a solid investment for the bank so as to ensure a Deed in Lieu was accepted. And let's just say that the 'client' has gone on to lose EVERYTHING including her successful business of 10yrs, her home, her car, her reputation in her communities, her credit, etc. and is now facing a 2nd foreclosure from lack of income and bankruptcy. What would you estimate a case with such dynamics to be worth?
