My lawyer has done many things on my behalf, as I alraedy mentioned he typically only charges what it would have taken a regular personin all are meetings (like charging one hour for a four hour session as he pushed me past my limits..... as he said I got to get the paperwork out!!) I lost count, he hasn't charged me for all the BS inquiries the ex's lawyer has called my lawyer on - as he said we are not going to discuss that which is not going to lead to a resolution of my case.
But most recently, he said, "I spent most of my weekend going over your medical file, and your financials"..... which nearly turned my stomach over thinking what that was going to cost me.... at the end of our meeting he said he spent six hours on the medical alone and when he announced he didn't bill anything on the weekend!! He knows I only have so much money, again another person that can't beleive what my ex did, how she did it, leaving me out dry. As he put it - it is time to shift the burden onto my ex and I also think my lawyer appreciates how hard I have and do work on my file, gathering what he asks for.
I have told him many times that I can't do this, I really am depending on him to get it done - I seriously do not believe there is another lawyer who would be willing to take on my file, he really is my only hope and so far he has done some amazing things - strategies that I never would have thought of in 100 years that has made major impacts on our case.... I say my thanks to him for his efforts every chance I get.........
