Contact your local county bar association - I think Erie has one. If not, the New York State Bar Association should be able to point you in the direction of an attorney who will take your case.
Often when the husband holds the assets and the wife needs counsel, the court will order that the husband pay her attorney.

Please contact me. The law provides that your husband may have to pay for your legal services
