Expert Advice When You Need It Most

In AR a non-contested divorce takes about 5-weeks (per attorney). Pd an attorney 12-weeks ago and he still hasn't filed. Options

I spoke to another attorney about this and was told that the divorce should have been filed and GRANTED in about 5-weeks. My (current) attorney will not return calls or emails to give me any information on the divorce. I don't even know if he has done anything with the case. He cashed the check and as far as I can tell, that was the end of it. I have a restraining order that runs out in a couple of months and need this resolved, but don't know how. Can't afford another attorney. what can I do??

Submit a written demand for the return of your money without any deduction. If he deducts any amount, demand an atty fee statement explaining the time, fees and costs. Utilize those funds for a different atty. If your first atty doesnt respond, then contact another atty to telephone the first to secure your deposit.
