An Indiana lawyer was found guilty of neglecting to provide competent and timely representation and lying to cover it up.  In 2008, Janice Gambill was engaged to file a legal malpractice case in Illinois.  Instead, she filed a personal injury case in Indiana.  Only after being pressed on the matter did the attorney finally file a legal malpractice case – but this was also in Indiana and it was a year and a half after the initial request.
