I recently filed a complaint against my former lawyer to the attorney grievance. He quit because he solicited a phony lawsuit and refused to file a lawsuit. He came to me with the idea of suing a company. In an email, he stated I came up with this idea for you and you only. Also in another email, he stated he brought me back a thong as a gift from a recent business trip because he desired a sexual relationship which I refused. In other emails, I fired him several times and he refused to quit. He told the Attorney Grievance I came to him for the lawsuit which is not true and he denied all about the sexual nature. He does not know I kept all of our emails. He made several false statements to the grievance commission. I have proof of that in emails. Do I have a case against him as far as unethical practices? I have worked with him in the past so his recent came as a shock.
Sounds difficult as it appears you were involved in the made up claims and have no damages except the scam was not successful. Your grievance was your remedy. Consider yourself lucky that your were not prosecuted for making a false claim.
