Question by robinson b: My attorney abscounded with all the proceeds from a court ordered settlement. How do I get my money?
First of all I live in the state of Arizona. The court ordered settlement was for approx. ,000 I was to receive about ,000 my attorney the balance of approx ,000. I endorsed the back of a joint check made out to us both. He was then to forward me a check for the ,000. He never paid me a cent. Not knowing any better I filed a lien on his property. However I never recovered anything. I even re-filed the lein when it became dated, still I never recovered anything. The attorney knowing all that he knows about legal issues filed a motion with a local judge to have the lein removed and taken from his credit files . Its been years and I have never been paid. Is it too late? Have I been cheated out of my money by a lawyer who is slicker than owl snot. What can I do to this SOB?

You definitely need to report this to your local bar association. You tried to get him in civil court where he has more resources to fight back. In fact, what he did was criminal was carries severe penalties. I recommend going after him that way first and then try to get your money back. Get an attorney to help you!
