Question: 

I submitted my questions, my story and like my life I guess it got lost I paid lawyers to do a job. They didn't, charged me and left me holding the bag. I am now bankrupt emotionally unstable, sick and tired in dire need of a psychiatrist and hopeless. I hired two lawyers. they did not do their job in a timely manner nor did they do what I was paying them for. They lied, misled me and drew this simple divorce out unnecessarily just to line their pockets and they are still doing it. I feel totally betrayed used. Now what do I do ? Going into the fifth year and no final judgement. There ought to be laws protecting people from this sort of thing. What I have seen is Lawyers can do what they want to do, not what I want them to do. What's going on? I have no where to turn.
