Re: legal malpractice
The first thing you should do is file a complaint with the Attorney Grievance Commission. They will investigate your claim at no expense to you. If they determine there is merit to your allegations, they will pursue the lawyer and seek to impose sanctions. This could include restitution to you of whatever you can establish you lost as a result of the lawyer's malfeasance. MD also has a Client Protection Fund which may be available to you.
The Attorney Grievance Commission can be contacted by email at [email protected]. You can access their website at www.courts.state.md.us/attygrievance/ index.html for more information.
