To: Jacqueline Harounian, Esq.
For nearly 2 years I have been trying to finalize my divorce. Had a lawyer by the name of Mr. Jonathan Edwards, located out in Freeport, New York. Mr. Edwards did not fight for me in the best of my interest and spending thousands of dollars. I release Mr. Edwards several months ago. Now I am without any legal representation. No longer can afford an attorney to represent me in court and finalize my divorce. The Plaintiff has unjustly taken everything from me. I was force to work a second job to try to pay all my debts and the cost of living. And because I am working a second job and is totally exhausted mentally & physically for this. The Plaintiff is seeking maintanence, and continue to maintain a medical insurance. Which I am unable to afford to do. I am overwhelmed with bills and debits. I have been trying desperately to seek out an attorney or an advocate that will help me. I have a court date 7/23, we just gives me a few more days left. I have been seeking for help, but no luck. I would so greatly appreicate any advice or feedback.
Sincerely,
Catherine Rahner
