i have an atty that has been very fraudulent,neglectful,I believe willfully,I believe he deliberatley through my child custody case,asked the judge to throw me in jail,but of course I cant prove it,he wont even write the court order up or negotiate with the other attys office to get their proposed order in line with the actual transcription of the judges order.
I want to ask him if he could assist me in suing his insurance,and then i will compensate him for it.I beleive he really does owe me for real and punititve damages,however,I am completeely broke and destitute,and have no real proof unless he admits to what he has done.If he wanted to go ahead,would it be legal?if not,what other recourse do i have other than a greivance to the state bar association?seems like they could care less

No, the attorney can’t help you sue himself.
And even if he could, would you want him to?
That would be counter productive for the attorney.
Your situation is laughable. No attorney would ever sue himself.
You need a new attorney who will review the case for free, and consider taking it on a contingency basis. In other words, your deal with the new attorney is that he doesn’t get paid until you get a settlement, if you never get the settlement, he never gets paid.
That is the black and white, no more simpler way to define conflict of interest.
If you have a complaint about your lawyer you should contact your state bar or law society and they can assist you in the proper way to address the matter.
