Fair Representation

I was involved in a fatal car accident (I was the surviving passenger). I was pinned and had to be taken by airlife for treatment. I had a fractured humorus, metal plate + 10 screw, three fractured ribs, various other injuries. My lawyer painted a ''rosey'' picture (Law suit) when I hired him. The insurance company was eager to settle. They advised they had a substantule policy (1 Million) so not to worry. The children of the driver (my friend who pased away in the accident) hired a seperate attorney. My lawyer just notified by mail that the insurance company paid them 999,999.00 and is only offering me $1000.00? My lawyer now says there is noting else to do? What happened to the rosey payment? What recourse do I have now? The children's laywer has also filed a civil suit against the owner s of the othe vehicle? My laywer has done NOTHING ! Please help me.

State Bar Investigating Complaint

I recently filed a complaint against my attorney with the Bar for unethical conduct. More specifically, for initiating and propositioning me for sex, but when I refused his advances (after giving in a number of times) he filed a motion to withdraw. My question is how long does it take before the bar notifies the attorney that a complaint has been filed against them? Also, is there any other action I can take against him? As now at such a critical time in my child custody matter he has left me acting in pro per and of course used up the entire retainer. Besides that, there is now a conflict of interest with opposing counsel because he has joined a firm as a partner with an attorney that I once had a consultation with, and also one of the other partners of this firm was minors counsel for many years for my children.

(In case you need to know, I also have several of the text messages my attorney sent to my phone from his cell phone as well as his DNA from one of the times he was more persistent with his sexual propositions.) Thanks for any advice.

non-payment for contract work

I did two contract assignments for a company. Each assignment consisted of me taking photos of many properties. I was told I would recieve anywhere from $3.50 to $10.00 a property. I have not received payment for either assignment. I believe I am going to have to take them to small claims court. How do I choose a dollar amount for the assignments and are there other damages I can sue for?

revision question

I think you misunderstood. A supervisor at a company had their employee complete their online exams and submitted the exams like they (supervisor completed it)

Lost my Job because of ADA

I los my job because of traffic violations that were on my record. Someone had used my name when they were pulled over. At the time I was in the presense of 5 friends, one of which is a police officer. I was covicted of these violations and notified by mail. I had the cases reopened and personally talked to the ADA. She said she believed me and would take care of it because my CDL was at stake. Time passed and nothing was resolved. I called her office numerous times and was told she was waiting on the arresting officer to contact her. I talked to the officer a few days after I had personally called him because nothing was getting done. I think she was putting off the cases to get me irritated and just pay the fines but I wouldn't because it would go on my driving record and my company wouldn't allow me to drive until these violations were off my record. Needless to say 14 months passed before everything was resolved. Is there any legal action I could take against them? There is no reason that it should have taken that long. Even my officer friend said that it was on the border of a civil suit. I don't understand how she can keep putting things off while someone's lifestyle is on the line, which she didn't care about

Lawyer Practice Area does not fit case

My lawyer is listed under the State Bar as praticing ''Trusts & Estates''

He had aggressively sought my business which was a case of Breach of Contract/Rescission & Fraud and nothing to do with Trusts/Estates. He did not appear knowledgeable, went back and forth contradicting himself and ruined my case.

Is a ''Trusts and Estates'' lawyer qulaified to handle my type of case?

psychotherapist violated privacy

psychotherapist violated boundaries by asking for loans, promising employment, recruiting a patient for job, then not paying for them with witnesses present-the patient has had enough and says no to a 5000 dollar loan-therapist contacts opposing counsel (nasty divorce), THE EX HUSBAND AND EVEN the father of patient with lies with maliscious statements, damaging, unsubstanciated character attacks (all recorded)and witnesses. Therapist wouldn't treat Black patients stating racist reasons and she is also extremely anti-semetic. Question?: violation of privacy is obvious and violation of judge orders regarding return of sealed documents and no contact

is provable. But she also administered meds w/o license, left documents at my door against court order after I denied her a 5000 loan. She called my father after he had open heart surgery slandering me ALMOST KILLING HIM-

I was going through a divorce, she saw my financials & I pressume I became a target. She borrowed money and abused my confidence. She talked about her patience with me and others and later talked about me when I refused to lend her money. She often showed up drunk to sessions, was drunk every evening, She dispensed RX w/o license, Stole my SLE meds. advise:
