Yes, you could sue, but an easier and cheaper way is to file a complaint with the local bar association. They would call him on the carpet for an explanation and get the fee reduced. He is clearly incompetent and you are right to be mad.

SINCERELY,

advisor

He has since quit his practice ..and moved to another state ...whould this effect what your advice is ...he is now in Utah...but started this mess in Ks. He move out of state about 5 mo's ago...?{ as far as sueing him } because he is in another state or going to bar.

File a complaint against him in this state and in the new state where he lives, so that the professional associations will know about his bad reputation and possibly prevent him from doing it to someone else.
