Re: mistake in deed
It depends on what the mistake was. Ideally, you've been making requests that the deed be corrected in writing, and getting receipts for the letters you've been sending.
If the other person involved in the deed will not cooperate with you in correcting the deed, you will probably have to sue in a "quiet title" action to correct title. This action would be against the other party to the deed, not necessarily against the attorney who prepared the deed, and therefore you may have better success in finding a lawyer to represent you.
If you had title insurance [assuming that you were the buyer], you should check with the title insurance company about how to correct the deed.
