Has anyone taken their Lawyer to court for malpractice? -

Has anyone taken their Lawyer to court over his/her Lawyer not doing as directed by the client and because he (Lawyer) doesn’t do what was asked of him you loose your carse? Hope that makes sense.

I don t think it is applicable in NC - I may be wrong. I do know you can get a new trial on grounds of bad counsel/legal malfeasance, or leal misrepresentation - cannot remember the correct legal term for it. Saw it happen after a conviction in a murder trial was overturned for this reason. I had sat through 7 weeks of trial, waited 2 days for a verdict, only to have it overturned 3 months later. Crime victim was a relative.
