Often there is a case of wrong identity. At this point, you may wish to pull your FBI and state background check, get as much information from the court on that case...most of it should be public. At that point, contact the court clerk, or go in to court and see or make an appointment with the leading judge. See if this can be repaired by the court without your out of pocket cost. If not, you may wish to consider retaining the attorney to sue the court for negligent reporting.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
