Based on your own comments, you had several years to work on your problem. There are many social service agencies that assist immigrants with legal help. If you had reached out to people at your school, someone would have referred you to an organization that assisted with fees based on your is ability to pay.

Poor planning on your part is not a reason for sympathy on my part or for special consideration by the US government.

Now, get yourself over to one of these agencies - Catholic Charities and Lutheran Relief are two that operate in many communities and are highly regarded - to see what your options are now since you have no confidence in the attorney with who you now have a relationship.
