Re: Misleading foreclosure attorney michigan
It depends. An attorney who represents the opposing party should not give any advice to the other party. If they gave you wrong advice or misleading advice, you may have grounds to file a grievance against the lawyer. However, you would have to prove that the misleading statements were made, and if they were all verbal, this would be difficult.
During a foreclosure, you are free to retain your own lawyer or discuss the matter with your mortgage company if there is something you don't understand. Therefore, you should not have relied upon information from a lawyer representing the bank trying to foreclose on you - he is not on your side, and you should have known that.
