And with respect to the malpractice claim, if it turns out that the statute of limitations has run and you have lost your claim because of the lawyer's negligence, you could sue the attorney for malpractice. You may be in luck if he had malpractice insurance but if not whether you are going to collect on a judgment depends on what assets are owned by he or the legal entity of which he was a part.

. Thanks for all the help.
