Just one further question, do you believe filing a criminal complaint with the police against the trustee will do any good? Or will they just tell me its a civil situation even though he's committing crimes?- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
Ok, I realize that. I guess I was just expecting more people to answer and kind of a consensus from attorneys. I will try to write to both attorneys to try and resolve this, but the 2nd one stopped answering my calls and emails, so I suspect he will just ignore me again. Thanks.- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
Look, forget it, you're not telling me anything I don't already know and haven't already explored or acted on and this topic has strayed so far from my initial question. (is the lien why 2nd lawyer dropped case, and will it hinder my ability to get another one?) If you are legitimately trying to...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
I would like to, but I really don't want to give any more specifics than I already have. Yes, the trust is written to distribute upon death. Like I said before I wanted to file suit immediately because I knew the trustee would never give me my fair share, and would not give me an accounting and...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
yes, and I know all that. Yes, semantics. That is how it was set up for me to receive my inheritance. The trust is written as such. And yes, that's part of the problem with the 1st lawyer. The guy tried to probate it. He didn't know what he was doing but acted like he did when it came to hiring...- CharlieS15

Sure I do. That's how the trust and pour over will is written. It has been reviewed. All property was put into the trust.- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
I wasn't. I took their advice despite me not agreeing with it, and it got us nowhere. Just a massive bill with zero results. The guy tried to file a petition in probate when trusts do not go through probate. (As multiple other attorneys later told me.) It got rejected. He didn't know what he was...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
How is he not standing on it if it was in the contract that I would pay him? Isn't this then him trying to enforce his contract? How can it even be proven that he ACTUALLY did the work he charged for and that it took the amount of time he claims it did and charged for? Because I don't believe a...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
That doesn't make sense. If that's the case, than why does HE get to stand on it? He did not honor our agreement or what he told me in the consultation. This is what eventually led to me firing him. Most of these charges are a result of his incompetence and lack of experience in this area of...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
I had no option. He didn't even know what he was doing. He filed things incorrectly, didn't review critical evidence I sent him yet claimed he reviewed everything. He lied, he overcharged. It's too much to type. He did everything all wrong.- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
I get that, but I don't have the money to pay him and won't until my case is settled. Which can't happen unless I get another attorney. If I don't have the means to fight the trustee, this lien won't get him his money anyway because the trustee will make sure of that. He's already broken many...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
By "their" I was referring to Quincy's last sentence. That was a response to him. The amount to recover is very large. Plenty to cover a new attorneys fees. Do you have any suggestions for making that lien issue change? Because wouldn't I need to get a lawyer to get that removed? I want to...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
Ok, well, I guess not technically, and not in writing, but that is what we agreed to. That he would be paid when its settled. He knew money was tight. Most of it was stolen by the trustee. I haven't paid him because I don't have the money. Again, he knew that and was ok with it. I definitely...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
I'm trying to stay a little vague as I don't want my adversary finding these posts. (unlikely, but very possible given their background) I'll just say well over $400,000 its plenty to cover their payments and I believe with the evidence I have the case would get wrapped up fairly quick. Yes I...- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
Well, I understand why he did it, but I'm wondering if this could be the real reason the 2nd attorney dropped my case and if it will make it difficult to find a new one to take my case unless I get the lien removed. I would be upfront with any new attorney about the lien but I don't want to...- CharlieS15

Illinois. No, he simply filed a lien against the property in trust. He never even notified me. He only told the trustee who is the opposing party.- CharlieS15

previous attorney put lien, new one dropped case
Hi, I had a very bad experience with my previous lawyer which led to me getting a new one. When I fired the old one, he put a lien on the property I'm to inherit. He never told me he filed a lien and I only found out when my new lawyer got a response from the opposing party. My new lawyer then...- CharlieS15

POA abusing power, What can we do?
I have to strongly disagree. If he is not properly executing her wishes, then he is failing as her POA. Her interests are supposed to be put above his own or his wife. I think she would strongly take issue with whats occurring. Its not merely about our feelings. This is about concrete...- CharlieS15
