It depends where the case stood and whether there was a signed agreement with the defendant. Feel free to provide me with more details by e-mail.

Re: litigation
Yes, you can, unless you are beyond the statute of limitations. It does not have anything to do with bad advice from an attorney. If there was a mistake, you may need to look at Code of Civil Procedure, � 473 to correct mistakes.
