Lawyer Abandons Child

May 11, 2008 permalink

Here is a personal plea from a mother double-crossed by her lawyer, who has now joined the local prosecutors office. When a lawyer's malfeasance causes a client to lose money, the client can recover the money from the lawyer, but there is no way to recover a child.

I had an attorney that was supposed to file an appeal in Pennsylvania Supreme Court for the termination of parental rights but she lied to me for three years. She has moved on to the DA Office now and she said she could not help me. I checked with the Supreme Court and they told me she never filed in that court. What can I do? She left my son in a boy's house and lied to me, telling me that she had not heard from the court yet. I don't know what I can do, I have not seen my son in over three years. Can anyone tell me if there is something I can do? Anything I can put into the court myself? Is there a way I can sue this attorney? Please contact me at [ cafaily at yahoo.com ].
