Judge refused to lesen to two wittnesses in my family law case.
1. evaluation about my chances for employment
2. accountant who should testify about financial situation of my ex
the reason judge refused, was my lawyer was to late with reporting these two wittnesses.
I was left with 9k bills for hirering these experts .
Also my lawyer was not able for 8 months to obtain information from employer of my ex. On the top , 3 documents, from 3 different medical doctors, which I supported to my lawyer were never presented to opposite counsel or the judge.
Result , my alimony were cut in half and I am left with bills for legal fees which going to cause the lost of my house .

Re: lawyer was to late
Mediate your legal bill, and then figure out (with another lawyer) how to work with the situation you are in. Legal fees that cause you to lose your house are problematic legal fees.
