• What to do when you have hired the wrong law firm for your case?

  Asked in Rosemount, MN

  I am disabled and have been receiving permanent spousal maintenance since my divorce in 2010. Ex-husband wants to end alimony due to early retirement. I am completely overwhelmed and seem to have hired the wrong attorney. She and her staff make me feel unheard and/or misunderstood. They are making decisions that make me feel bullied and steamrolled. I do not think they are even reading my emails. What can I do?
