    Post: bad laywer in divorce can you help

    Posted by eddiej on 1/22/08


    this is a divorce is in kane county IL
    my situation, I have a lawyer who will not return my phone
    calls or contact me with any updates. My wife has a lawyer
    who gets judgments against me without even notifying me. I
    do need some serious help in this matter I do not know where
    to turn. I’m still trying to get over having to pay $2000
    in unemployment checks to buy personal property back, I had
    no income for two months and had no place to live. I found
    out that most my personal property has been taken out of the
    house and is being stored somewhere and that the collectable
    comics may not stored properly and their value thus going
    down. Not all of my personal property was returned and I
    was informed by my brother in-law that all my stuff had been
    taken out of the house and put into storage. I had asked
    your honor in September 2007 what protection do I have for
    my personal property and you said the law. I got my laptop
    back damaged and unusable. The cost to repair it is more
    than laptop is worth and the laptop was only one year old.
    My tools I got back were damaged and cheap substitutes put
    in their place. Not all of my tools were returned. For 22
    years I’ve always supported my wife and daughter. I had to
    leave in 2005 to go to work out of town, for there was no
    work here in my profession or at a wage to support my
    family. I was home every three months for two weeks, to
    make sure that everything in the house was working properly
    and to spend time with my daughter. While it is true that I
    have multiple DUI’s and I have lost my license the one
    attorney that I went to said it would cost $10,000 to get
    it back, and I felt that money was better spent on making
    sure my daughter had a roof overhead and food on the table.
    All I’m asking for is some help. Who do I contact to get
    some legal help and or mediation? I do not have as much
    money as my wife and her family. I remain unemployed and
    have no idea if the order of protection has been rescinded
    or not. Also there is no response from my lawyer or her
    lawyer.
