Here is the situation. I am being sued by my attorney for nonpayment. I have not paid him because his representation was both unethical and unprofessional and is being investigated by the bar association at this minute. We are supposed to appear in small claims court tomorrow afternoon. I just received a phone call from my attorneys attorney stating that they would be dismissing the case tomorrow and that I didn't have to show up. He then said that he wanted to have the bar association to arbitrate our fee dispute and that if I refused to do this then they would again file another claim with the court. None of this makes any sense to me. If he is willing to dismiss the case, then why does he still want to haggle over fees?? And why didn't he suggest having the bar arbitrate the dispute in the beginning instead of filing a small claim on me?? This is all very suspicious to me especially now that I have filed a complaint with the bar regarding this whole issue. I know he would not be doing this unless it was somehow beneficial to him and detrimental to me. Doesn't this put me at a disadvantage to have this dispute in front of a group of his peers and not mine?? If anyone could enlighten me as to what is going on here it would be greatly appreciated. There has got to be some kind of catch or some kind of trap. I just don't understand.
