Dear Robin:

I filed for divorce last year and since then I feel like my case has gone nowhere.  I’m starting to wonder if my attorneys are taking advantage of me so they can extend the divorce as long as possible.

Several friends advised me to get a second opinion, so I recently interviewed another lawyer.  He told me I should basically be done by now, but that it was too late to change counsel.
