That post makes little sense and certainly does not tell us how the lawyer was wrong or committed malpractice. Nothing in your post tells us how the lawyer's advice led to the loss of any property, or why the property would not be lost anyway (there was a reason for the BR case in the first place). All you tell us (or try to, anyway) is what you could not do. You don't tell us what you did do, and how that led to the loss of anything. $500 is not likely going to get much advice from a good lawyer. If you did any of this without a lawyer, that is going to be the biggest reason for your problems. You are not going to get the answers you want here, based on a few sentences that don't make much sense.

As stated post makes no sense. But you would have an extremely difficult time based on what little I understood with saying the lawyer owes you anything.
