I am looking for a lawyer who specializes in legal malpractice. The lawyer I previously consulted did not understand the difference between legal malpractice and medical malpractice and provided a generic answer. How can I find a more serious professional?

I was given admission to Metalsworks Institution in Ontario, Canada, and applied for a student visa, but I was denied. The authority stated I didn't have enough funds for the program, which is incorrect as I have more than enough funds. Additionally, the school mentioned needing a work permit to cover the program costs, which I don't need. Can I appeal this refusal, and if so, who should I contact for the appeal process: the school or the Canadian authority?

I hired a lawyer to represent me in a circuit civil court case. I signed a retainer, but later, due to excessive fee issues, he agreed not to take a percentage if I settled the case. He screwed up my case, and I ended up settling. I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, listing him as a creditor, and received a discharge. When he refused to release my settlement, I filed a bankruptcy adversary case. The trustee allowed me to keep my settlement. During the bankruptcy adversary proceeding, the lawyer filed a Motion to Compel in the circuit court, claiming he had a valid lien, which was perjury. The bankruptcy judge acknowledged the perjury and advised me to go back to the circuit court for sanctions. I filed a motion to vacate the order for fraud and perjury, which was denied. I appealed to the Florida 4DCA for both the Motion to Compel and the motion to vacate. The Appellate Court gave me 10 days to file a brief explaining why they have jurisdiction over the lawyer's Motion to Compel, as my notice of appeal was not timely filed. How can I justify my appeal's timeliness, and is there any case law to support my position?
