What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Connecticut
I have recently had a court date in which I asked my attorney to subpeona dcf and child psychologists records to clear my name of maliscious accusations and expedite dna results. The following court date I asked the judge about the requests and she stated "there was no motion filed for any of that."
When I asked my lawyer about these subpeonas & expedited dna he simply said, "I can't do this anymore." A week later I received a letter requesting to withdraw from my case.
I've been going to court for custody of my daughter for over two and half years and since then my lawyer has done what's mentioned above plus everything I list below...
- Failed to file to hold mother in contempt (I had to file myelf)
- Failed to reschedule a trial date after we were snowed out
(I had to reschedule myself again)
- failed to subpeona dcf report (I'm unable to)
- failed to subpeona child psychologist report (I'm unable to)
- failed to disclose that the mother previously attempted suicide &
had never been evaluated or treated.
- failed to disclose that the mother previously was arrested &
charged with "risk of injury to a minor."
- changed or discarded previous motion for custody I filed before hiring
this attorney (learned in court by the judge at the trial at which he
never showed before his hearing to withdraw)
- tried to cut/force agreement without my approval (found out in front of
the judge when I said, "No, I do not agree")
If that's not enough to get my point across there's more, but that's the majority of the misrepresentation & failure to disclose.
We go to the hearing for his withdrawal soon & would like to know what I could do/say/ask to expose him to the maximum/hold him accountable, plus recoupe any/all my loss time/money ... "any help/input would be greatly appreciated."
