QUESTION
What are my rights when I think my attorney was negligent?
Asked on Apr 29th, 2014 on Legal Malpractice - Florida
More details to this question:
I had an attorney who let my whistleblower case just rest for five years without an appeal. He wouldn' contact me for months and then after statutes ran the limit, he ended our contract. There is much more involved than I can produce here. I hope someone can help me.

You need to talk to a lawyer about the merits of the whistleblower case. If it was a crappy case, there would be no real damages, even if the lawyer screwed up. Something is missing in these facts as it makes no sense that this would be brought up 5 years later, after the SOL may have even expired, about a failure to pursue an appeal.
