You need to know this....

I hired Jackie to represent me 4 years ago. I am still dealing with legal issues because of how my divorce was handled. I had to hire a new attorney who told me that my decree was written poorly and is vague. My ex was allowed to stay in our home and had 15 months to get my name off the deed. He... foreclosed with my name on the deed. I am now being sued by the HOA and am expecting to be sued by the mortgage company. 3 years AFTER my divorce was settled, my credit is ruined and I am still being held responsible for my ex's actions because of the vague decree. I am going to have to pay my Ex's bills that happened over a year after the divorce was final. All because it was writting poorly. I was hesitant at the divorce hearing. She told me that I should sign it and we could fix it later . Well, I have learned since then it is very difficult to to get a post judgement modifcation on a divorce decree. It's nearly impossible. Thanks, Jackie. You took the easy way out and now I have to pay thousands of more dollars when i should be rebuilding my life. I'm doing all of this without a dime of child support. Also something Jackie told me I had no choice but to agree to. I also know someone else she represented around the same time. My friend has also had to hire another attorney to try to fix her issues.
