Re: missing stock certificate
What was the context? Was the attorney holding it escrow? Was it a publicly traded company? These questions should be raised before any plan of action is crafted. Feel free to contact me to discuss this.
Re: missing stock certificate
At a minimum this would appear to be an ethical violation and it should be brought to the attention of the local Bar Association. It might also be conversion or theft. I urge you to contact an attorney and review all the facts with him or her before you undertake any action on your own.
