Not surprisingly, the lawyer never answered any messages, including this morning's, in which I told her I thought it was time for me to find a new lawyer. What a professional way to get rid of a client you don't want - by simply blowing her off and refusing to return her phone calls. Incredible. Then again, I've been wondering whether the thing is that law school turns people into assholes, or that assholes are the people who go to law school.
Then I contacted the only other one of the original ones I called who'd gotten back to me. When he got back to me this time, he told me he didn't do bankruptcies (for the business), mumbled the name of a lawyer?firm? around here that he said does, and was fairly shirty about it all. Should have known that someone who identifies himself on the phone as "Attorney Harlovic" would be a problem.
A lawyer I called in Algonquin answered his own phone, said he was in a meeting, and said he'd call me back within the hour. Didn't. Called back much later, and I let it go to voicemail, because by then I'd already...
... gotten home, looked lawyers up in the good ol'-fashioned Yellow Pages, called a firm in Crystal Lake, and spoken to an actual lawyer, who sounded pleasant enough... but he is a lawyer, so I'm not jumping to any conclusions. But anyway, Seamus and I will meet with him tomorrow morning at his office in Crystal Lake.
Hate this.
(The answer is, of course, "A good start.")
