She told me to stop emailing her so much

I hired Charity after another lawyer I hired took a demolition ride on my case leaving us in shambles. She at first seemed to be working for us, representing us with CPS, but then she started dropping the ball. She let the other side suggest a Family psychologist that was hand picked by the opposing ...council without putting up any resistance. She almost seemed to be working with the opposing council, not in my favor. I really doubt she believed in my case, despite the fact she saw how much I cared for my son. She was my attorney for over a year and billed over $100k from me. At one point she restricted me from calling her and refused my calls and then told me that emailing her was the best way to contact her. Then she told me I was contacting her via email too much. During mediation her office demanded the day of I pay all her bills despite the fact I always paid on time every bill, and during the mediation she seemed more interested in her laptop and other cases than representing me. The deal she "negotiated" was totally for the mother and it was as though she had some back alley agreement with the other side. She really treated me like I was just a paycheck and she was doing me a favor. I actually told my wife we should fire her after she told me to stop contacting her via email so much, but we were desperate for help and afraid of hiring a new lawyer after the last one. She really was our second worst choice though. We were, at the end of her representation left with an order that was the mothers dream and our nightmare. If we had a better lawyer or even one that cared for our case, we would not be in the mess we have today. Don't hire this woman unless you want to pay for her lifestyle!
