    Exclamation Missed Tort Filings

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Indiana

    We hired an attorney who missed filing tort claims agains government entities, and now, we are told we have no case. Is there any way we can still sue the attorney and the others who (in our opinion) deliberately 'mishandled' this, and if so, how do we proceed? We have been 'up against' powerful people and need help. We have lost a home/house that was paid for, (sold to pay for the lawsuit). And hear nothing from the bar association concerning our request for the return of our forty-thousand dollars paid to this lawyer who claims to be broke, and is now retired. Can we go after the state? The bar? Need serious help, thank you. Steve

    Meaning... they changed their mind and don't want to file? They filed the case and the judge dismissed it? Something else?

    That will depend upon the facts, which are not known to us. Consult a legal malpractice lawyer in your state.
