Went to my lawyer, whom I was paying, with questions. My understanding was that I hired him to represent me in my divorce and he was the subject matter expert. I first asked if he was busy because I came unannounced, without an appointment. I was told to sit down. I sat and was visibly upset (crying). I wanted to know if my soon to be ex-husband was allowed to ask certain questions. I found them to be very upsetting. I was told that they would be objected therefore my husbands lawyer would need to show cause in order for an answer to be compelled. I was told by my lawyer that I could ask similar questions ( presumably to cause discomfort). When I stated that I didn’t want to “go there” because I felt it was unnecessary, my lawyer decided to raise his voice considerably almost to the point of yelling at me. I chose to stand up, tell him he was out of line and leave. I ended our relationship and hired a new lawyer. At no time do I think it is appropriate for a lawyer to raise their voice at someone who is paying their salary.
