Litigation Settlement Check Went Astray. Sent By Lawyer’s Secretary To Wrong Address. What Can I Do?

Your lawyer knows exactly what to do. He should immediately place a “stop payment” on this check with the bank. Since you did not get the check, and the lawyer chose to mail it as opposed to using other more secure methods of delivery, the lawyer should absorb all costs associated with any mis-delivery. If you did not receive the check, YOU ARE IN NO WAY AT FAULT. This lawyer has a duty to you to actually deliver the check to you and he is acting inappropriately and unethically.
I don’t know how to use the e-mail option. YOU SHOULD:
1. Tell the lawyer in writing, with documentation that the lawyer receives it (certified mail, FAX with a copy of transmission receipt, e-mail & keep a hard-copy), the things stated in my answer.
