Question #70: If I am in the middle of a divorce and we can’t agree on the settlement on the house, can we go to you to have this settled like adults between us both. She can’t take any more time off work for the hearings and I don’t like the way I am being represented by my lawyer. Can I ask my lawyer for a refund because he’s not around if I have questions or concerns.

You both may agree to mediate any outstanding issues which remain between you and do not have to have the judge settle the matter. If you believe you’re not being represented properly by your attorney you may terminate your relationship with him at any time, and any retainer monies which remain unused must be returned to you.

If you’re located in the New York City metropolitan area, please call me ASAP to arrange for a meeting between us to discuss the matter at greater length. I can help.
