So you filed BKR before or after they forbearance? Here's the thing, you can't sue a law firm for doing what they are being paid to do. You should be angry at the mortgage company. Your forbearance agreement was between you and the mortgage company, not between you and the attorney's office. Once your plan is executed, ie you send in the up front contribution, you sign off on the plan and return it, then they process it and at that time tell the attorney's to cease until further notice. If they attorney's proceeded, it is because they were not instructed to stop by the mortgage company, who they work for. You don't give a definitive time frame, so it hard to tell when they filed the petition and when the mortgage company received your agreement and the cashier's check in the mail. Failing to make your payments on the forbearance, regardless of the court activity effectively broker your plan. The court action would have been halted had you discussed it with the mortgage company, and probably was going to be halted until you missed that next payment.
