Legal Question in Legal Malpractice in Virginia
legal malpractice
I live in ?Virginia. Alawyer lied and told my son that I told him to take a plea. He told him that if he took the plea that he would not have to register as a sexual offenderl. After the 10 day appeal period, he backdated a letter and told him that he would have to register. We can prove that he did these things, but we can not find a lawyer to represent us in a legal malpractice case. We called legal referal but the lawyers said that they were not taking legal malpractice csaes presentl;y. Have called numberous atorney. What else can we do?

Re: legal malpractice
Your son could write a letter to the judge who sentenced him and raise the issues which you've mentioned and ask the judge for a reconsideration of his or her sentencing.
