One more thing he was very careful about what he said to me over the phone and in person and what he asked for me and writing. The only thing I can prove is that he got the worst deal for me than the plaintiff was asking for, that the eviction could have been quashed because the plaintiff side did not file paperwork properly but he asked me to let him deal with it which he never did and that he had me sign papers that he said we're good for me he called them slam dunks but never explained them to me I signed them cuz I trusted him is that evidence enough to show that my attorney was not working in my favor?
It does sound like you have some evidence that your attorney may not have acted in your best interest. Key points to consider:
- Attorney failed to explain documents before you signed.
- Attorney possibly mishandled paperwork and misrepresented the deal.
- Attorney had you sign documents without proper explanation.
