Legal Question in Family Law in West Virginia

Bad representation by a lawyer...what to do???

We have been in a 3year divorce and custody battle.My lawyer has consistently missed turning important issues in.Today, I was told he did not turn in a summation that was due in in 20 days after our last hearing. My husband's lawyer did and the judge signed his. I am so upset with the system and this lawyer...who can I really turn to for justice. Is there justice anymore...my children and I have been put through a nightmare that is getting worse, and my husband and one of his mistresses started it all and he wants it all..and seems to be getting it...HELP

Try calling the West Virginia State Bar Association. Tell the person answering the phone that you have a complaint against an attorney.
