My question involves malpractice by a lawyer in the state of: NY
When the temporary order was put in place last March/April I had been made aware by my employer that I was about to be laid off for an indefinite period of time.....well that would turn out to be over 5 months. My HRA (health fund that pays my health insurance) was running low and I had fears that I could not maintain the court ordered 188.98 a week CS and pay a Cobra should it run out. I let my attorney know this before the order was derived. Her question was how long will it carry you. I responded until about October......Fortunately, by the skin of rear, work proceeded once again and I started to build my HRA and was able to meet premiums and pay the CS with no issues outside of not being able to afford a place to live and relying on family to provide a roof over my head. Now, unemployed once more, my HRA is going to last only 2 more months at best as my premiums went from 639 per month to well over 1000. I have no way to pay this at all as my unemployment only leaves me 165 per week after they take out CS. To make Cobra payments, I will not be capable of doing that with what is left. I asked my attorney to address what I can do in this instance being its a temporary order and 3 weeks have passed and I asked again to day, I am desperate to find out if anything can be done to address the temporary order that states I provide health insurance as an add-on. What are my options with an unresponsive attorney & no funds to seek council elsewhere? Can this temporary order be appealed now that its over a year old? I have to maintain a vehicle should I be called back to work and my work takes me over an hour away at times. Selling my vehicle is not an option or I will be without transportation, I'm already without shelter, but for the kindness of family. Any tips to force my attorney to respond, I am paid up to date with her and she is supposedly the best around, I just don't understand her blowing me off. I don't hound her with 99 questions, this is my 3rd inquiry in over a year's time.
