Can a client pursue their former lawyer in small claims court for breach of fiduciary?

Postby oz » Tue Jul 10, 2012 4:31 pm

During a certain time of the representation the attorney lied to the client and mislead the client by concealing material of facts.

This is all in writing due to the fact that main communication was done by email.

Could the former client pursue this in small claims court under New York’s Faithless Servant Doctrine?

File a complaint with the state bar association.
They will hold a hearing and could fine or suspend or revoke the law license.
