I am sorry you are having a tough time on the legal front. I think most of us can agree it is very stressful to address all the legal issues. Try and keep in mind in most cases, no matter what the laws of your state are, attnys will ask for the BIGGEST possible settlement so there is room to negotiate.
It took me a long time to totally trust my attny. He was great from day 1 but it is so difficult to put your whole life in the hands of another. Those four hour long meetings are so draining and I remember them well. I would leave my attnys office feeling like I had just been beat to hell.
You have learned from your past errors and that is what matters now for YOU!
