Our attorney told us we were not liable for the debt on our loan that was included in our bankruptcy even after I contacted him and told him that another lender bought our bankrupt loan and was refusing to acknowledge that it was included in our bankruptcy. A deed in lieu of foreclosure was never done and our attorney never informed us that one was need. The mortgage company that bought our loan was reporting us 120+ days late on the mortgage for 2 years before we realized what had happened. Most bankruptcy attorneys would know that a deed in lieu of foreclose was needed in our case. What can I do to be compensated for the damage caused to us by this attorney.
I would calculate your damages the contact the attorney and see if he wants to take care of the matter. If not, you should consult with a legal malpractice attorney.
