I've witnessed some careless and unethical behavior by both banks and lawyers. The lawyer I hired, it turned out, had a conflict of interest because his firm also represented the bank that foreclosed on me. That, however, didn't stop him from billing me for several hours in which he should have known--and perhaps did know--about this conflict of interest. The good news is that I'm not on the street; I've been able to pay rent on another place, since I'm no longer trying to make mortgage payments. We'll have to wait and see if the bank tries to collect a deficiency judgment. I went through a foreclosure in Nevada earlier this year.
