Reason: Our lawyer tried to withdraw after trial started in a civil matter for health reasons. Three times she failed to file properly. The judge denied her last motion and had her resume trial. She responded by telling the judge that she would call no more witnesses nor submitted any other evidence. She had not gotten any evidence in. She did not know how. The judge asked her if she rested her case and she said yes. We could not say anything and the judge rendered a verdict for defendant. Case closed. Do we have any way of retrying this case. It was a fraud case worth * million$.
