So....... to my original question - how does one report a solicitor to the colegio de abogados?  Thanks

We did have a bank guarantee and instructed our solicitor to execute it in March as it was due to expire in April.  Our solicitor failed to execute the bank guarantee and now we are left without one.  We feel our solicitor has been negligent.  Has anybody had a similar experience with a solicitor?  What action did you take?

We gave signed POA to our solicitor on 28th March 2008 to execute our Bank Guarantee, knowing it expired on 25th April 2008.  Our solicitors told us they need to send the developer a burofax and wait 40 days (we now know this is not true).  We know the solicitors had our signed POA on 25th April so they could have just executed the Bank Guarantee.  Instead, our bank guarantee has now expired.  We feel really bitter towards our solicitors as we feel they have been negligent.  Our solicitor told us the developer has agreed to give us our money back but no other staff member at the solicitors is aware of this.  Is our solicitor trying to cover her own back?  Should we believe her and hang on or should we take a different route?
