Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

Re: attorney

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You might have a malpractice action against the attorney if it should come to that. In the meantime, why not obtain a different attorney who can immediately file the necessary pleadings and avoid the foreclosure action? If your attorney is not working fast enough to satisfy your needs (and those of your mother's lender) then you have every right to change attorneys and demand any monies you paid to the attorney to be given back.
