Idaho

I really need some help. 2 years ago, my attorney advised me that I could offer investments to folks through a "Joint Venture Agreement" as long as I kept it "small" (9 clients or less). I made the offering and the money invested through my company was stolen (700k). The State of Idaho is now trying to sue me for 700k PLUS fines for securities violations and fraud (because my Joint Venture Agreement does not address risk). I want to make a claim against my attorney because he advised me to proceed as I did.

I know this isn't a TON of information, but do you think I have a case?

Ask more questions if you need to.

You may have one. You really need to speak with an attorney that handles malpractice cases.

How can I contact someone that specializes in that area? I have tried to make some calls out of the phone book, but haven't had much luck so far. Any other suggestions?
