Is it malpractice (in Indiana) when an attorney;
At this moment I am representing myself and a call was made to me with this man claiming to be an attorney giving a name and claiming to represent the other party, he asked a couple questions such as a continuance Which I said “NO”, later I found out from the courthouse this attorney had not filed with the courts of representing the other party in any way. Was this malpractice in Indiana?

No it is not malpractice. The attorney may be filing a request for continuance at the same time as a notice of appearance.
