It is my word agaist the lawyer's and the Judge believes the lawyer, not me. The lawyer was not required to proove or provide evidence that he followed the guidelines of the American Bar Association. In the U.S. there is no law in any state to protect any person from this kind of "legalized" theft. Is it wise to hire another lawyer to get my money and property back from the first lawyer? I lost all I have and the first lawyer's theft means I don't have the money for a second lawyer. I can find no lawyer willing to even consider helping me unless I can guarantee payment of enormous legal fees. Why does Justice cost so much? Is Justice only for the rich and privelidged in the U.S.?

I'm sorry but you are fighting a losing battle. That's why I don't like lawyers. They are the only ones that win in a divorce case. They also are the best crooks because they know how to bend the law to suit their own needs. you just had two valuable lessons in life. How not to pick the wrong mate in life and never trust a lawyer!

Very simply call your state's bar association and file a grievance, which will be heard by a panel of Bar attorneys. Believe me, they are not at all partial to lawyers and if you are right in your accusation, you will likely win not only your money and property back, but damages as well, and you will not have to pay an attorney to do it for you.

The question is CAN you prove theft? What sort of payment contract did you sign with the lawyer? If you signed one that said that in the event you could not provide full payment the contract probably stated that he COULD take your property...that is probably WHY your side of the story won't stand up in court. YOU signed the contract. I suggest you read that contract word for word and HOPEFULLY you can comprehend what you read...obviously you didn't the first time around.

I would first prove to the judge with financial records you don't have the money you're supposed to have and anything else that proves you don't have your property and money. Secondly, if you show these; then the judge might have to have the attorney pulls his records as well. There's also legal aide and you can google them online; and let them know your situation and see what they can do. Somehow, someway; legally you are entitled to get everything back. Take this as far as you can take it. Good luck!

Since you mention the bar, can I assume that you reported him? Perhaps your X had something to do with it. Or perhaps you did NOT receive anything. I dont see how an attny can acquire/keep your property. (meaning RE)
