More details to this question:
My name is Brad. I am hoping to bring forth a case of ineffective assistance of counsel against my court appointed attorney. This was in 2020 in Nye county Nevada. I was convicted for non payment of child support. My lawyer never once talked to me and ignored my repeated attempts to contact him. The D.A. falsely claimed that I was extradited three times to Nevada and the judge sentenced me to six months in jail because of it. I served ten months in jail for things that never happened. I want to sue him for ineffective assistance of counsel.

This is not a family law question. I express no opinion as to whether it is even possible to file such a suit, but the question should not go to a family law attorney. You should probably start with a call to some personal injury firms; they should be able to guide you to someone who handles those types of cases, who can then advise whether such a suit is possible.
