No judge will talk to you. The DA might if a crime was committed. I don't know what you mean by dropping the ball, so can?t help further.

Get a second opinion. File a grievance. Sue for Malpractice.

Why don't you hire a lawyer and ask him what you have got. You probably don't have what you think you have and a judge will not talk to you and the DA will refer you to police and police will not talk to you unless you have proof.,I doubt you do. you don't seem to know what is going on. Get a lawyer you trust and ask him to look into it.

Of course, you can always go to the prosecutor. There is no guarantee the prosecutor will pursue it. As for your attorney, file a complaint with the bar association. No, you cannot go to a judge.

You would have to be a lot more specific; I don't know what you mean by "swindled" or "dropped the ball", though I have a pretty good idea. No, you can't schedule a meeting with a judge. Try getting in contact with your state's Attorney General's office; if this was a business transaction, is the swindler doing this to anyone else?

Talk to a real estate attorney and a criminal attorney to properly discuss your rights.

You could sue the lawyer for malpractice. See another lawyer to discuss your case. If the lawyer stole the property from you, you could file a complaint with the police and the State Bar.

If you were the victim of a crime you start by making a police report with local law enforcement agency if it is a civil matter then you need to find another attorney.
