That sounds like grounds for malpractice. An attorney that you hire should always act in your best interest and consult with you before taking any such severe action.

What happens if a judge has ruled on a judgment dismissed without prejudice?
A "Dismissed without Prejudice" order means that the lawsuit is being dismissed by the court, but the case can be re-filed if the party chooses to re-file. This often happens when a lawsuit is filed but, for some reason, it is not pursued. Maybe a plaintiff becomes ill, or maybe a witness can't be located. The possibilities are endless. Rather than the case sitting in the court docket without there being any activity on it, the court dismisses it. On the other hand, a case that is "Dismissed WITH Prejudice" means, usually, that the claim is barred from being refiled.

Regardless of what you remember, the original case file will reflect in what manner the original case was resolved. Do the research or ask your attorney.
How far can i go with a lawsuit against the city of Irving Texas and the state of Kentucky I was arrested on allegations of rape and sodomy Case dismissed but there was slander and discrimination?
If the criminal charges of rape and sodomy were subsequently dismissed (BUT, you don't say if it was dismissed WITH or WITHOUT prejudice!) I would say that you have no cause of action on the disposition of the criminal charges. However allegations of slander and discrimination are CIVIL chargesand are separate and apart from the criminal action. Contact a good civil attorney for advice.

Yes, that's what 'without prejudice' means. When something is dismissed with prejudice, this is due to some kind of misconduct on the side of the party making the claim. They're then disallowed from refiling it. However if it's dismissed without prejudice, often due to a precedural error, it can be refiled.
