Hoping I'm wrong

I'm still in the middle of the case. We have been passed to another lawyer in his office who has not made us feel confident, or that we spent our money wisely. We see very little effort and receive negative speculations for possible outcomes. We were looking for a fighter, a sort of hero who will bla...ze a just path for our loved one who is suffering unjust and inappropriate consequences of a broken system. Our case is not difficult, but it's painful for the innocent people affected by it. Maybe it will work out in the end but so far we have zero piece of mind and can't get an appointment to attain that piece of mind.
