What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? CALIFORNIA
This is for my share of the house, community debts, just a simple divorce case, that was dragged out for 2 years by both parties lawyers
I am on my 3rd set of lawyers
1st set, she charged me her fees for a majority of the work her assistant did, ie letters, preparation of docs, memos, faxes. assistants always put their initials on letters etc $12.000, she set the creditors onto me, when I refused to pay for duplicated work.
What do I do about her, is that not a federal offence?
2nd Set, When I went to them, I instructed them, that I wanted to go to trial, I had all the papers necessary. They said we could not do that, as there were certain docs still needed, they arranged for motions to compel, judge refused, as we actually had all the papers. They dragged it on for a year. ( by the way I had 3 lawyers in this company) lawyer 1) made arrangements with ex's lawyers for xmas visititation, forgot to let me know, caused no end of problems for me, the lawyer had the audacity to blame me for his stupidity.I fired him, the senior partner takes over, apologises. then 2 days before trial I am informed he is too sick and another lawyer will do the case. she is not prepared on the day, mumbles through the whole things, no defense at all for me. Had no idea about my case at all. yet I paid for her incompetance. Then they charge me $7000 for the work for attorney fees.
When this is all over, I find the document, that states notice to produce documents at time of trial, something they said could not be done, at my initial instruction. They used great time delaying tactics. They will not deal with any of my letters, as they have received all their money. I fired them, as my ex is taking me to court for custody ( he does not want to pay child support any more ), they did not let me know, sent the paperwork in the post, I was away for some time. before I knew.
Do I have any type of a case against them
The third one, hopefully is frightened of me, I have really had enough of lawyers.
