Yes and no. The lawyer who defended me in the original case and our appeal of the first decision ... Is still around. But unless I hear something that seriously suggests error of commission or omission on firm's part, I'll do the appeal myself. I've spent north of $50K to get nowhere and will not spend that kind of money again. I've fired two attorneys getting divorced for various kinds of stupidity. However I believe in this case my attorney was excellent. The fault is with the judge.
