Unfortunately I do not have the means to hire one at this time. After speaking with a few, not so sure they could offer relief because as you've mentioned, the length of time already past. Thanks for your response.

I understand. These things have a way of getting out of control if not addressed early. Having said that, if you cannot afford an attorney, you may want to inquire with a legal services organization that handles these types of matters without a fee. There are should be a few in NYC.
