She messed up a couple times and my wife was taken off and then she wasn't licensed in our area and then she told me she was going to have to let it cancel and refile in order to get my wife back on it. I asked her if we had time to see about selling our home to pay off all our debts before she refiled and she said yes we had 30 day. I asked her to refile when she had to so we would not loose our home. My father in law passed away and we had to go from Florida to NH and put my mother in law in a nursing home and close and empty their house. When we got back it was about 6:00 pm. We found out our house was being auctioned off the next morning and the courts and our lawyers office was closed. So I went the next morning to the court and filed a motion asking the court to delay the sale because our lawyer was suppose have filed our bankruptcy and hadn't and that we just returned the night before. The judge denied our motion and our home was sold and we had 24hrs to move out. When I got a hold of the lawyer she said she didn't refile because we had to pay her to. Were we paid her and she messed up can we sue her and if so how long do we have to find a lawyer that will sue another lawyer? -
