Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Georgia

Re: Attorneys fees

In any court case you are only one-half the action. The other side has just as many rights/responsibilities as do you. Your lawyer had no choice. S/HE did not cause the matter to be contested, your spouse did. Your lawyer must respond to what is presented, and if your spouse coverted what you wished to be an uncontested divorce into a contested matter, what choice do you have? Did you want your lawyer to abandon you because your spouse responded? Have a conversation with your lawyer about this and have him/her explain what your options are. You are always free to discharge your present lawyer and handle the matter yourself. You will then find out what real expense is, we suggest.
