I wish I had seen this 3 months ago. Fired her and have a new attorney who gets to the point and this should be finalized next month. Former attorney said another ten months!
We need a video of how not to get ripped off by all attorneys in general. Remember if you loose they still get your money. Many will say you have a good case when you dont. They make no money if you dont hire them. This is why they may lie and say you have a good case. It they are willing to take your case on a contingency then you have a good case. If they wont be careful. Create an incentive for them to win.
Thanks...very much appreciated! Used your advice to stay focused on my original goals and budget, and not expand and pursue other issues as recommended by my attorney.
So far have had two attorneys, first one wanted access to my home and another asset in the case for personal inspection, charged me 4,000 a month. Fired that one , the second lies to me about paperwork sent to her office, claiming I forgot to send it until I produce the UPS receipt with her signature on it. She also told me the judge refused evidence that would have refuted allegations my husband and his attorney made against me. She claimed she had not used my evidence in another court appearance where the judge actually did look at the evidence provided which was the only reason I got personal property returned to me that my husband stole. I am now completely fed up because I asked her about mandatory court mediation and she called me and told me if I didn’t like the way she was handling the case I was welcome to represent myself. So far this circus has cost me over $40,000 and my husband showed up for the pretrial this February, I filed in July of 2019.
@@steakdave666 Finalized after 3 years and $150,000+. After firing the third attorney I represented myself in court and found out a meditator had been assigned that I was not told about by my second attorney. Fourth attorney finally took the divorce to mediation because I started mediation, otherwise I believe it would have gone to trial. This doesn’t count the consults I had with 2 others attorneys and a 3 financial consultants.
My very expensive attorney continued working on my case with only occasional payments as a favor well after it seemed clear my husband was indeed broke and I had very limited assets. It will require me to sell my home and all of my personal belongings to pay off his $170,000 bill. He calls me selfish for not selling everything I own to pay him but I feel he should have taken me aside and said I don’t want to see you lose everything here. You should go pro se or find legal aide. He also ignored me for the last 8 months not returning my calls or emails. His junior attorney became rude and condescending. They did the work though. . What’s your take?
My attorney and my wife attorney exchange 17 email daily for the past 7 months so far the bills is 40k and nothing resolved. Just to let u know the system will make u bleed on to you get broke. And nothing you can do because the own you. I regret selling the house in this inflation now I have to get or my assets to attorneys and wife. 🤔
what can i do when I HIGHLYY suspect my lawyer is mishandling the funds from the sale of my property. She is refusing to send me a statement from the account and has cut communication for a long time now. Aside from the mishandling of funds she's not keeping me updated on my case...didn't even show up to a hearing and had the audacity not to tell me... I recently found out a client is suing her for mishandling of funds most likely. What should I do to let the courts know that the funds might be mishandled since they are the ones who authorized her to hold the funds? Or is there a way I can get the courts to make her send a statement?
My divorce case is legally aided all was smooth the attorney was so helpful until she stops working for the firm and her boss took over my case, after our first meeting today I felt extremely insulted and she actually told me because she spent so much time on me she has less time to prepare paperwork , this on top of her being LATE for our appointment and talk to me like I'm a beggar.
after 18 month going back and forth deliberation was made my propriety has to be sold to be split but i was getting a 2 to 3 thousand bill now i got last month 10000 bill and the next month 22000 bill is that legal accepted
NOT SOME ATTORNEYS, HERE IN NYC MOST OF THEM WILL!!!! MOST WILL LIE AND MANIPULATE TO EXTEND THE PROCESS AND CHARGE PEOPLE ALL KINDS OF SHIT WHICH THEY DONT NEED!!!
i paid my lawyer 130000$ All i wanted was to keep the house i paid for. Now i have to sell it because i have to give the ex money. 200K. So i got nothing i wanted. We have no kids. 130000??? I see noone around speaking that kind of number...
I know someone who has paid almost half a million trying to divorce her husband, offering him all kinds of settlements, but now after 5 years, she has no money left, and no divorce either. She's gonna lose her house.
