Dear xmedwife:

Greetings. You may want to speak with the judge’s office yourself to find out where the order is or hire a flat fee attorney. That is an amazing amount of attorney fees - even for a long, hard fought litigation (my clients should all read this to realize how reasonable our fees are!!!). Good luck.

My attorney has withdrawn from my case and has/is going to place a charging lien on the judgment. He has charged me 198,000 of which I have paid him 65,000. I have no attorney and can’t afford one. This amount will severely deplete what assets I’m going to receive and my “income”. This has been a nightmare of the worst kind. The judgment was unfavorable to me as my physician ex husband received more than 50% of the assets! It’s been 7 months and the judgment has not be entered. In that 7 months time, my attorney has charged me over 20,000. I don’t know what to do. Thanks for any help.
