Re: legal malpractice law
THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. I AM NOT YOUR ATTORNEY.
This would appear to be malpractice. Every attorney in Oregon is required to carry a minimum of $300,000 in coverage, per incident, for legal malpractice. This insurance is provided by the state bar, so the funds are actually available.
You should probably not accept the refund your attorney is offering, so there can be no implication that you have settled with him.
You need a legal malpractice attorney. You might consult with Kafoury & McDougal in Portland.
