I disagree. I am learning a lot about the law, and that laws are clear and in most cases unquestionable. Improper service is just one of the many "irregularities" in this matter, and while a biased judge can certainly deny my motion to vacate, I am not relying on her sense of justice any longer. An appeal of her denial of the motion will be filed the day she does so.

well it sounds like you do not need an attorney after-all -- good luck.

Not one that makes decisions before hearing all the facts anyway.
