    Default My Attorney Stole My Money

    In 2006, I was ordered to turn myself in for a possession charge (in Collin County, Texas). Before I did, I hired an attorney from Houston. I paid him $17,000.00 to keep me out of jail and to clear my charges. (My case should have been thrown out of court to being with because of illegal search and seizure and false police reports, which I proof of all)
    This attorney that I hired lied to me for months, while I sat in county jail, telling me everyday I would be released. Until one day he dissappeared. I was left in jail and ended up doing one year in prison, 6 months "aftercare", $10,000.00 fine (still to be paid) and a felony conviction. This so called "attorney" was never to be heard from again and I am out the 17k and lost a year of my life.
    Can anyone give me any advise on what I can do about this? If anything?
    A grievence doesn't seem to do anything.
    I would appreciate any advise.
    Thank You

    Have you tried contacting the bar association in your state? You could start there, see what they say and go from there.

    Consult a lawyer in your state about the possibility of a legal malpractice action.
