I went through a few lawyers, for various reasons. They all did what they could to help me, but they could only take it so far. I was worried about missing the two-year deadline. I didn't have a lawyer at that time, so I filed a civil suit and proceeded to represent myself. I had no idea what I was doing. Anyway, eventually I was able to find a lawyer to help me. He helped me throughout.
