It sounds like your attorney may have acted negligently. If this is the case then you are doing the right thing contacting the bar, but they have their limitations. You need to seek another attorney. The statute of limitations for wrongful death in CA is 1 year, with exceptions. Hopefully your attorney filed and preserved your rights. The guardianship is a completely different issue and I'm unclear what this entails. Why is the Board of Education contacting you about guardianship? They should not be in contact with you, but should be contacting your attorney. I would also look at the CA bar website to see if your attorney has had any other complaints. Find another attorney and WRITE down everything you can think of that your current attorney has done to foul up this case.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.tylerlaw.com/page6.html First, my sympathy goes out to you.
