Hello, I have all kinds of questions and concerns. I just don't know where to start. My first concern is I have an attorney to represent me in my current divorce proceedings. I feel like she isn't really working in my best interest. Everytime we talk, she is requesting payment for work I don't have a clue that she've done. Also, I've paid her approximatly $ 2,600.00 from December 13, 2004 to now and she is requesting an additional $ 800.00. This amount is to cover one emergency hearing and a settlement hearing. She also stated that if my divorce go to trail, it would cost me an additional $ 3,000.00. I just don't get it. Because, I hardly ever talk to the attorney, she haven't contacted any of my witnesses. She haven't contact the women that I told her my soon to be ex-husband was seeing. Any information she needs I provide her with it. She is charging me for xeroxing information that she either received from the court or that I gave her. And, she didn't prepare me prior to going into the settlement hearing and that turned out to be a mess. Everytime I attempted to contact another attorney, their calendar is either full and they need more time to prepare for my case. WHAT CAN I DO...., I feel like I'm being taken for a fool. I am very unhappy with the way my attoney is handling my case. Can you please provide me with a attorney that handle Maryland and DC law.

Have you had a frank talk with your lawyer and said to her exactly what you have said to us? Ask her for an itemized billing? You may have to cut your loses before it is too late if she isn't doing what you think she's should be doing. I had to stop my lawyer several times and say to him look this is what I want and you are supposed to represent me and if you can't let me know now.
You're paying her to do what you want her to do. You're in charge, not she. She's just your legal representative.
My lawyer doesn't do divorces in dc, just maryland. :mad:
