Looking for an attorney to review case for fee dispute litigation

We are urgently seeking an attorney to represent us in a pending fee dispute against our former attorney, Gregory [Last Name], in Kings County Civil Court, Index No. [Index Number]. A bench trial is scheduled for November 6th, 2026. The matter involves what we believe are multiple false statements, material misrepresentations, and improper billing by our former attorney. We paid him $12,500 for emergency legal assistance based on representations that urgent relief would be pursued. However, the promised relief was delayed for years and ultimately never obtained. Despite repeated filings, no substantive hearing was secured, while substantial additional legal fees continued to be demanded. Our former attorney has now asserted counterclaims against me, including claims for defamation and breach of contract. We have extensive documentary evidence supporting our position, including recordings, certified transcripts, billing records, court filings, correspondence, and proof of payment. We urgently need an experienced attorney who handles attorney fee disputes, legal malpractice/professional misconduct matters, and civil litigation to review the case and advise whether immediate representation is possible. Please contact me as soon as possible if you are available to discuss the matter.
