What is the name of your state? North Carolina
In August 2004 I retained a lawyer for child custody and support issues with my ex-boyfriend. I have had contact with this attorney 3 times since then. Each time has been because I called and ask the secretary to make me an appointment since Ms. Ramsey couldn't/wouldn't call me back. Within 30 minutes I got a call.
By November I was in desparate need of financial support for our son and recieving no child support ( none for 18 months). I called attorney, (this was one of those return calls) and ask how much longer did she think this was going to take and did she think I could move faster (for support) through social services. She said I could try. So I went to social services and was in court on Dec. 7 for support and should receive my first check in January. I want just as much to get this custody thing over.... all I can get out of my attorney is that his (ex-boyfriend)attorney has not returned her calls.
I have paid this lady up front and she expects me to pay her more if this goes to court (and it is). I just do not feel that she is working "for me" I have to beg and plead and push her. If I could get what I've paid her back I'd go else where, but with what I've got invested I feel stuck.
Any suggestions?
