Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I hired an attorney in 2010 to represent me through a divorce. After a couple of months it was discovered she represented my soon to be ex husband in his first marriage. She resigned from my case due to a conflict with the judge. This year I have been told this attorney should have never taken my case due to a conflict of interest. Do I have a right to file a grievance against her with this information I have been told, seeking my retainers fees.

You will need to retain a qualified attorney who can research the statute of limitations for you and assist you in researching to see if you have the basis to win a complaint - as the statute of limitations may have run and there may not have been a conflict, for instance: if it was a new matter and/or she had no facts or knowledge as to your marriage.

You can also call the State Bar and speak to a complaint attorney or agent.

Ask them for the statute of limitations on filing a complaint. They will also direct you to the instructions on filing a complaint.
