I kind of side with the original mechanic and don't see a direct correlation between their transmission work and your suspension being f****d off. It's ****ty if they left it engaged and it somehow adversely affected things, but ultimately its not their responsibility to remind you how your own vehicle operates.
There is a lot of things that can cause a suspension to go bad and quickly, with all of the connecting parts and what not. One part being worn and not repaired can expedite other connecting parts getting worn and it all quickly snowballs and goes to ****.
Unless you have someone else knowledgable that you can trust to look at it and give an opinion, you're stuck with the word of the ones you've already went to. I can say with 100000% certainty you're never getting the original mechanic to compensate you or repair anything on their time and dime. You either gotta file an insurance claim or pay another person to fix it.
