While we were fighting her two things happened, she spent $25.0000 of the banks accounts and a lean was put on her from the credit union she embezzled money from. Well we finally struct a deal and we thought we only had to pay her $4000 more. It turns out our second lawyer struck a deal, after eight weeks of trying to get a hold of him we find out not only did he give her $4000 but also gave the credit union 50% of the rest of her share of the assests. Our goal all along was for her to relinquish she had spent $25,000 and that would come of of her share of the estate.We never agreed to the credit union part of the agreement and didn't know about it. The first lawyer turned the whole matter over to the second lawyer because he's sick. The second lawyer made a deal we never knew anout, Do we have to hire another lawyer or what?
