Hello,
I recently had a very bad experience with a lawyer. Long story short, we signed a fixed agreement to have this lawyer file some immigration papers for us. After 4 months with no results the lawyer told us that we were no longer profitable and that if we wanted to have the lawyer's representation that we needed to agree to pay more money.
I did not agree to this and we went our separate ways. He refused to refund any of our money and made up charges that he said we accumulated. I then filed a complaint with the BBB. The lawyer shrugged off the BBB complaint. The BBB advised me to file a complaint with the general attorney.
I then wrote a negative review on a website about the lawyer. The post was harsh but truthful but didn't go overboard.
The lawyer responded to my review calling me slanderous.
I haven't proceeded in filing the complaint against the lawyer yet because I was wondering if he can sue me (and win) for the BBB complaint and the negative review.
What is the best route to get some of my funds back?
