My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: California
A few months ago we got served with a 60 day eviction notice in which we hired an attorney to represent us since the reason was unjustifiable. The reason was due to my parents divorce for the eviction, my mother hired a criminal law attorney. I am not sure what he did but he convinced her that he can handle the case which he charged her $3,000. She negotiated to pay 50% at the time and the other 50% after the case was handled. On a Saturday the attorney wanted to talk personally regarding to give her testimonial of the case in which we came to find out that the appointment was not for the testimonial in which in reality was for the attorney to charge my mom for the other half of the fee. We were not able to make it since the attorney had to do some personal business with his family,the next day he texted my mom saying that he was going to request an extension since he had two criminal cases in another city. Little that we know he sent out a court attorney representative (not an actual attorney)in which she was not up to speed with the case, did not have any documents of the case, and as well was sent out at the last minute. We had to explain to the representative about the case in which she requested an extension which was denied by the judge since the case was considered a high priority for unlawful detainee. The plaintiff attorney told the judge that he was not aware of our attorney wanting to request an extension since no courtesy call was made to request an extension outside of court and as well no message was left. At the end the representative was making the settlement terms in which we were satisfied but the attorney that we hired did not do anything to handle the case in which after the case he kept charging us for the other 50% of the fee. Can we sue this attorney and report him to the state bar board for this malpractice since he does have a history in which once his license was suspended due to driving under intoxication, punching someone in the face, and as well having a suspended license? What are the chances of winning and getting him reprimanded with the state bar?
