1. You purchased your home four years ago and had an attorney represent you in the matter. This was the first real estate closing this lawyer ever handled. The attorney had just passed the bar shortly before you retained the lawyer. You recently had foreclosure proceedings filed against you seeking to seize your home to satisfy an old lien against your property. The lien pre-dates your ownership of the property. Another attorney you consulted on this matter has advised you that you are liable on that lien, which is for an amount almost equal to the value of your home. This attorney also mentions, however, that your real estate attorney should have found the lien when you bought the property.

Can you win a malpractice suit against this attorney? Why or why not?
