Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Texas

Attorney Malpractice
I hired an attorney to represent me in ch13 bankruptcy. Initially, he did not disclose he had cancer. During the course of the bankruptcy he signed off on an agreed order that allowed a post-petition arrearage that was $1,700 more than was actually owed. He did not correct that error. He neglected to file 2 adversarial matters on my behalf and at my request/demand. 1 against a creditor who repo'd my car, and then returned it damaged. Causing $1100 in damages. For 5 months he said he was working on it, and they are sending me the check. When the car continued to break down, he convinced me to surrender it. And after doing so, told me it's too late to continue pursuing the matter. The other against my mortgage company trying to forclose illegally. He said he was too busy and to do it myself. (I did, and was granted the TRO.) He was habitually non-responsive to emails and phone calls. I want to sue him, but I'm not sure what causes of action I have against him. I'm doing this Pro Se.

Re: Attorney Malpractice

Get a new attorney and they'll tell you if you have a claim or not. I don't see one from what you write, but I don't know all the facts.
