Fire your lawyer. You have the right to do this. You can file a grievance against your attorney if you believe he has done you a disservice. If, by taking the position that he’s taken, he has caused you to miss the statute of limitations, you may have a malpractice suit. To prevail, you must show that the lawyer made a mistake and, if not for that mistake, you would have won your lawsuit.
