Byzantine--had afeelin you were--knowledge of Latin, comments you've made! Thanks for coming out! lol Yes, in NY there is a Grievance Committee; I used to know all thenames of the attorneys on it.
In the course of my divorce, I filed several grievances with them concerning my "pro bono publicus"--they did not care that he had not followed the rules as stated when representing a client (even free of charge) in the law books I studied.

They did not care that "Equitable Distribution" had not been followed by the senile Judicial Hearing Officer who was my Judge--I presented Exhibits upon Exhibits of how
my attorney had destroyed me in Court--My ex-spouse even won grounds, because my pro bono dropped them the first day, he didn't even try to fight for me.

At the time, I had no idea what was going on.

I had to go sit in a law library in the Court house and learn it all myself-I did fire my pro bono; and went pro se. At that point it was time for an appellate decision-all was over in Supreme Court. I perfected an appeal Exhibits "A"-"Z" with an addendum--but they would not permit me to publish it in time to meet the deadline--I hadn't the money to publish it Poor Person's Relief papers were submitted and were refused.

In Supreme Court I attempted to appeal. There, too, I was deemed "frivolous" and warned not to try again.

I give up!!!

Law, as you well know, is a different language--most are not aware- they watch those shows on tv wherein you actually talk to the Judge--lol. I was not even present when my divorce papers were agreed to--it was done in chambers. Only lawyers and the JHO and recorder were present.

Grounds in my divorce were founded for my ex-spouse, and no note was made that I was not working for 16 years in the "Equitable" Distribution--I had to buy him out with money I borrowed from convenience checks on my credit cards to get the house in my name only; he even made me give up rights to his pension. "Quit Claim"

Getting upset now, sorry- will stop soon.

I won't fight the court system again...too much energy..and, in this case it was my own stupid fault for trusting my son.

Actually, if i had alot of money-to me=billions- yes, i would fight again.......
Not for money- but so that "Right Be Done" --Winslow Boy-on principle only would i fight again.............I have no energy, no more power in that stadium left in me to fight without money. Thank you Byzantine---Pax vobiscum!

Postscript:
I am most certain that you, as a practicing Attorney were Ne'er the "Moneychanger"

I read and observe much---I rest my case.---"Let it Be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom-let it be..." Hail The Byzantine!!! I send you smiles of gratitude for your kindness-theo
