https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-should-i-do-if-my-attorney-committed-suicide-and-my-complete-file-is-missing-from-the-law-firm <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I’ve been working with an attorney for the past year regarding a VA claim. I provided this attorney a 3in binder with a lot of medical and personal information inside. Some of this information can not be recreated or found anywhere else outside that file. I have over the past year requested by email this file be returned to me without success.<br />The attorney recently committed suicide and removed my entire file from the law office. His partners said they couldn’t locate my file and provided me only a paper copy of some emails, and authorization forms.<br />They have since told me there is nothing more they can do in locating my original private information. <br />Issues: I’m currently a Law Enforcement officer and if ever sued these documents may hurt my case. Nothing illegal should be noted.<br />There was evidence in there that would support my claim which can not get again. The doctor&#39;s office shut down and I had to sign for my entire file as well as my medic in Iraq gave me the originals of everything.<br />Besides filing a complaint with the Virginia Bar Association for HIPPA Violations, pricey act concerns, and professional misconduct, do I have any other options?
