COUNTERCLAIM IN A CIVIL MATTER: I need to write a counterclaim. Where can I find the proper wording? The claim involved an attorney who set fees at a certain amount with no engagement letter or contract. Then when he failed to file proper remedies, claimed the defendents owed much more money. Case involved real estate with a lis pendens. Attorney fialed to request removal of lis pendens or reimbursement of legal fees spent to defend frivolous action. Other problems included: misrepresentation-he said he was a litigation attorney and later said he did not know how to litigate in court, he failed to file motions (no evidence was presented by Plaintiff and attorney failed to file motion to dismiss. No engagement letter or contract was ever drawn. - Is this your question? Add additional information

Check with a local lawyer. Going it alone can be problematic.

Good luck to you.
