My Lawyer is tired of me, actually we never had a locked in appointment to communicate, so I only email now. Im in the moment where I'm being told by "M" (she/her) that I have to know the risks after she's told me I have to settle.
I've been in the justice system for over a year now and had two lawyers. My first one MR lipman I think thats how I spell it was a good lawyer vary professional and straight up with me. My second lawyer Mrs harington is probably my favorite one because shes friendly and nice shes straight up with me and preferrs to speak in person witch I like
I was supposed to start making child support payments the same month I broke my leg in 7 places. I kept getting subpoenas to appear in court, which I passed on to my legal aid lawyer who kept telling me he would "deal" with them. Finally, after 11 months, I got the cast off and was walking with a cane. At that point I had to appear in court. When asked by the judge who told me not to pay I said my lawyer. My legal aid lawyer then stood up, told the court I was lying and asked to be removed from the case. The judge removed him from the case, then ordered I be remanded to jail. Both my lawyer and the prosecutor jumped up and said that's not what they wanted. The judge then hit me with a $500 fine for willfully refusing to pay child support. I stormed out of the courthouse and when my legal aid lawyer caught up to me he said he would finish the paperwork for my divorce and he told me that this was the one time I would appear before this judge and he had to appear before this judge every day. He couldn't afford to have that judge angry at him. That's why he covered his own ass and left me hanging. He, of course, refused to pay the $500 fine that I got because of his ineptitude. He was subsequently disbarred for playing fast and loose with some clients escrow accounts.
Worst experience ever. After wasting 3 months of my time the lawyer assigned to me quits because he doesn't want to answer my questions. When I called and spoke to the supervisor Alison she was the most unprofessional ignorant person I have encountered in my life. She actually told me that it would not be respectful of the court to offer a defense. Considering how disrespectful she was in her treatment of me this is right up there with the most ridiculous situations ever. This was a student lawyer so if that is what legal aid gives you then do yourself a favor and represent yourself... anything is better than what they offer.
Some of the worst service I've ever seen. They have been my lawyer for almost a year in my family matter and I have yet to meet my lawyer nor have they accomplished anything to get me access to the children
