Q: (Might have to write this in txt speak to get it under 800 chars)-so my ex filed for support/custody back in March and didn't warn me- got summonsed to court last month but I could not get a lawyer in time as no one got back to me. We agreed on a sum and the lawyer drew up an agreement but tried to trick me out of legal support. In court the judge threw out the case as they had not filed for paternity first. I've spoken to a lawyer who wants to screw her like she is screwing me but I just want someone to sort this for my son. I need a lawyer who can just help with the agreement and oversee and protect me. I am happy to pay support but I want to have this done fairly and no disrespect but I would rather money go to him than thousands on legal fees. Is there anyone out there who can help?
A: David's Answer: Yes, you should shop around. You can look for attorneys here on Avvo, with the proviso that merely because an attorney has his/her office in, say, Bronx or Brooklyn, doesn't mean s/he wouldn't also handle a case in Manhattan. You may also consult Legalmatch.com, Findlaw.com, Lawyers.com and/or call the NYC Bar Association. -- David Bliven, Bronx Child Custody attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
