Wrong. You're confusing what you want with what will fly. If you
had any idea how many people we deal with that have their heads
up their asses you'd change your story.

What do you do for a living? Say you're a plumber...some guy
comes up and says, I'd like to have a new bathroom installed and
wouldja redo the septic tank while you're at it? Ohhhhh, I can't
pay you unless I win the lottery....
do you take the job?

But folks think that unless a lawyer buys into their jive ass
feuds and is ready to go to war with the world, they're "lying"
or "inattentive" or "corrupt" or "everyone at the courthouse is
conspiring against me".

File a complaint and file an appeal. And be prepared to put your
money where your mouth is.
