Dear mikeb:
Greetings. You may need to borrow the funds to retain an attorney from family members, but if you do so, make sure to sign a promissory note. You can also put them on a credit card.
The bottom line on attorney fees is that you often have to come up for the attorney fee the same way you would pay for any necessary emergency expense. Best of luck.
