I am going through a horrible divorce and having a rough time. I really got a punch in the gut when I found out this week that his lawyer and mine are buddies and merged their law firms. I was told I could get dumped. Now I cannot get a hold of anyone and money is due me. I have left several messages for the local bar association and no one there will call me back either. What are my rights? Didn't they have an obligation to tell me this before wasting my time and taking my case? It seems like a bad business practice. Now I have no money, probably no lawyer, and legal aid has no guaranteee someone will be able to go to court with me Aug. 17th. I am a single mom with no other resources and I feel like I have been taken advantage of. AND...it will be important for answerers to know this in El Paso, Texas, laws are unusual here, not like in other places, so your standard answers might not really apply. It would help to have people familiar with these situations in TX to answer.
