A family law firm was representung me for approximately one year. Just prior to the trial they withdrew from the case. I was able to find a lawyer to help me pro bono and the case proceeded to trial (still no decision).
The first law firm has sued me for their fees. My pro bono lawyer told me he would write to them to drop the lawsuit for the fees. Well, I guess he never did and it looks like the first law firm got a judgement against me ($40K) as I received a notice of a proof hearing.
Pro bono lawyer tells me I need a lawyer but doesn't want to help me. I have no money for lawyers (as well as many other things...). Has anyone ever attended a proof hearing? If so, were you able to successfully defend yourself? My first lawyers did a very poor job in respresenting me and charged me alot of money.
I am disabled and unable to work.
Any information regarding proof hearings is appreciated.
