Yes you can sue your attorney but I would imagine it will not be necessary. I would send the attorney a certified letter requesting he/she contact you immediately. If you do not receive contact from the attorney, contact the State Bar Association and commence a complaint against the attorney. Settlement funds for minor are always protected in protected funds and annuities in Utah and I would imagine it would be the same where you are. Good luck!

Basically when someone tries to get a statement that someone else made outside of court to prove something, that is hearsay and is not admissible to prove what was said One exception is if someone admits something; that can be introduced. An adoptive admission basically means that someone makes a statement about someone else and that someone else either by word or conduct (sometimes even silence) expressed or implied that the statement was true. the jury instruction in california is CACI 213. The jury can then weigh that statement against the person (the someone else). If the jury does not believe that the someone else expressed or implied the statement was true they are not to consider the statement at all.
