Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Attorney malpractices by representing Seller
I hired an attorney to represent me in a real estate transaction, of which I was the buyer.
I found out later my former attorney knew the seller personally, and he advised the seller that my action to enter the new construction site constituted a breach of the contract.
My attorney helped draft a letter on behalf of the seller that my action to enter the new construction site constituted a breach of contract.
The seller then used the letter as a reason to cancel the contract.
Two attorneys reviewed the contract and both agree that the seller does not have such right.
Can I sue for damages, malpractice and who do I go after to collect my deposit money and damages for the pain, suffering and time wasted ?

Contact the NJ Office of Attorney Ethics which is associated with the courts. If you document your complaint, it will be investigated.
