Asked on Jul 22nd, 2014 on Legal Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
I had a lawsuit going against RJ Reynolds and my suit was given to a group of attorneys without my knowledge or consent. I had been with the same attorney since 1996 I think. The new attorneys took over my case and that is where it all went wrong. Several issues that I have are Mediation where I was told I was just there to listen, bankruptcy had to be reopened and I was never told I would not be the plaintive. The trustee became the plaintive. Questioned by a psychiatrist in a room that was so cold I shivered the whole time and to this day I have no idea what answers I gave. Last my case was settled with an offer made to the trustee and not one of the lawyers let me know and the only creditor that filed when I reopened the bankruptcy was Discover and they were not paid and I was told that was the reason I had to reopen the bankruptcy

No way to tell from your post. You will have to retain a lawyer to look at all your records etc. What you describe is that you filed bankruptcy and as a result surrendered your claim to the trustee. This would be why you were providing testimony and the case was settled with out your participation, as the claim was no longer yours.
