sued him for malpractice

He took thousands of dollars and filed my case after the statute of limitations had run out. He kept cancelling depositions saying that I was not available. When in reality I had a personal day approved for every one. He admitted that he did nothing on my case for years. I have it in writing. He allo...wed the case to drag on for 6 years and then said he "lost interest " in my case and had the court allow him to withdraw. I filed a complaint with the bar, and they found that he did violate their code of conduct and an admonition was placed in his file. I filed a malpractice lawsuit against him. He had a compliance conference adjourned and then sent someone to represent him. Of course I was not there because it was adjourned. He scheduled another compliance conference without notifying me. He appeared and had my case dismissed because I did not appear. I never knew it was scheduled. DON'T HIRE HIM!!

If you are reading this, I would like you to know that I know exactly who this client is and what her case was about. Rather than respond in detail with all of the ugly details, I'd like to just say that this was a mistake I made a very, very long time ago. The case was resolved privately, and it's long since over. However, I can say I have made a number of changes to my office and the way I handle cases in the years since this happened, and I do my best every day to make sure it does not happen again. Thank you.
