Thanks for asking me “What can I do if my Lawyer screws me over?”

Unfortunately I field this question all too often, in a variety of contexts, and while the answer varies based upon the circumstances a few things do remain constant: 

1) It doesn’t matter who you are or what you do for work, biologically speaking we’re all human beings, we’re all fallible, subject to human frailty and any of us are capable of screwing up at any given moment and for a variety of reasons (could be intentional, nefarious, reckless, negligent or purely accidental);  2) In all walks of life - lawyers included - there’s gonna be a percentage of “bad seeds” and sadly this small few are gonna do a variety of “bad things”, and 3) While villainous lawyers are a scant minority who don’t define the larger group, “bad” lawyers and “bad” lawyering reflect poorly on all lawyers and so in my opinion it's important to call them out.  But how?

With criminal attorneys you have a few options: 1) You can call your lawyer out in front of the Judge, air your complaint on the record and if it’s got merit then your Judge likely has the teeth to deal with it; 2) If you believe that your attorney has failed to perform ethically or has otherwise violated her or his oath as a lawyer then you can file a complaint with the FL Bar, they’ll decide if your complaint has merit and if so then they’ll initiate a formal investigation requiring the attorney to both answer and offer adequate explanation while facing discipline; or 3)  If you can find another lawyer to sign her / his name to the paperwork then you can sue, but whether your lawsuit survives a motion for summary judgment or to dismiss, you ultimately get a favorable ruling, the defending lawyer is collectable or you ever see a dime is anyone's guess.  That said...
