Do you see the problem?

and what he did was wrong? did not file the paper work, cost me 4K in legal fees, Is it possible to get out of a judgment, and can I make him (my attorney) pay this judgment? it was all his fault, and we never even went to Trial. I feel sick, that I got this kind of service.
