Actually this is exactly what the law is. As one example see Kung v. FOM Inv. Corp., 563 F.2d 1316. "Moreover, while it may seem unfair to Kung that the delays of his attorneys should be visited upon him, litigants are bound by the conduct of their attorneys, absent egregious circumstances which are not present here." Client's case dismissed due to his lawyer's lack of diligence.There is no law that says a client get's one shot and has to ride it out to the end, take their beating... and the only recourse is to sue the attorney that represented them... after the fact.
