I'd like to thank Everyone her for their support! Wether here, or in pm. Or, just in thought.

I think the title should be changed to "Blown off by a Lawyer", who didn't do his job.
I have a real problem with people who straight out and lie to your face. (Lawyers are trained specifically to do this). I've read, and re read what the judge (Master) has proclaimed, and, it doesn't seem too far off, except that,
My lawyer didn't write a pre trial memo, which is the law.
The master took none of my testimony into account, because of the above.

I can certainly sue my lawyer.

But, to stay with the divorce,
Comes a time to cut things loose.

Lay it at the Cross.

While I lose my house (that I specifically built around my RSD), and, my furniture, some of which was heirloom, some antiques, and family pictures and things like that...

I'm still teetering here, and have more legal advice to seek, because the attorneys who were handling my injury case, that cause the TBI, and discs, and la la la...
I was self in sured for good dollars.
They BLEW it, by missing a filing deadline!

My life is now Legal Malpractice.

As the world is full of drunks and druggies, and people who make just a "little more than they need", so they don't take their work too seriously, so too is the world of attorneys full of these people.
You think they'd carry insurance?
Nope. Not for the most part!

Any of you who has an attorney employed, or is considering one, I suggest you ask them for a 'Certificate of Insurance". (They can't give it to you, only their carrier can). Absolutely do this before you hire one!
(If you have a good relationship and trust your lawyer, you might not want to go there).

But, I'd gamble that more than 85% of "small time" lawyers, that is, not operating in a 10+ attorney firm, carry NO insurance!
OutRAGEOUS!
IMHO!

So learn from my mistakes, folks.

I've lost not only my home, but two business, and, the closeness of my children, (who were groomed, ready and willing to take over those business'.)

Like I said, I'm not sure if I've made this decision yet or not.
I could go back in, have my new attorney file a memo, or complaint, whatever, and ask for what is really mine.
I don't know. as Jimmy Buffett says: Volcano!

Love to Ya'll! and, Keep the Faith!
