Legal malpractice. My attorney missed the date line?

[hawiovi]

My attorney missed the date line for refilling the case. He offered me $10k. He was asking for 180k in court. It was retaliation case with very good evidence and witnesses. My employer had reject settling with me and my attorney supposed to re- fill my retaliation case. What should I do in this case. I have incredibly good evidence in writing, e-mails from my employer to the foreman about moving me to the hardest and dirtiest work in the field (construction-demolition) so I will quit. I was asking employer for respecting New York Non Smoking Law by sending an email with actual law attached after my verbal requests didn't work. When a month later one of my employer customers had asked the same question my boss linked this to me and I was moved from warehouse to the field within 1hour. He had a problem with me because earlier I was requesting to respect basic wrights like paycheck in the timely manner. Finally I was fired. What should I do in this case? Should I agree to $10000

There's a whole crop of attorneys that specialize in legal malpractice cases. Call the New York Bar Association and ask for a referral to a malpractice attorney. Set up an appointment with one and they'll be able to tell you if they think you have a winnable case.

While you're on the phone with the bar, ask for information about filing an attorney grievance. Once you file a grievance, your old attorney will be subject to an investigation and discipline by the bar - which could even result in him being disbarred.

Wait to file the grievance until you've spoken with a malpractice attorney as they may have additional information or guidance for you on how to go about it.

Contact the Bar Association (organizations for lawyers) in your city and ask their advice. You can also file a complaint against the lawyer with the Bar Association.
