My pick for a Lawyer that should be disbarred

Where does one begin!? I asked him to handle a very simple case. He had handled one for me before and did fairly well. This time something was going on in his life and it cost me thousands! He failed to respond to a summons. He lied to me about filing the response. This was completely inexcus...able as, the complainants had granted him a healthy extension and I had taken the time to write it out for him. When I tried to contact him, his phone had been disconnected and he told me to text him. I would often go weeks without hearing from him. I eventually had to go on his face book page to get him after he ignored calls, texts and emails for a month. Needless to say I lost because no filing was made. I asked about an appeal of the decision. It was blatantly clear that I was not at fault. The issue was getting the documents in front of a judge. I badgered him for six months to file. He failed to, saying that he was working on it. Eventually, I had to pay the suit, as I lost through failure to appear. Now, over a year later he demands an additional $2000 because he failed to file the paperwork to satisfy the lien the clowns that should not have won placed on my building! No paperwork explaining hours. No attempt to say what this money is for. Merely the threat of not allowing me to close on my building. The threat was clear that he would not file the paper work he had claimed he had filed a year earlier. Extortion is closer to what is going on here then requesting payment. An itemized invoice is too much trouble? I am curious where the retainer went! Certainly not in actual work! Not only would I not hire him. I would be willing to spend thousands to see him disbarred!
