Q: I just found the court case number that awarded me $5.5 million from the ins. Co that my lawyer said did not exist I
Yes I want to recover this money, I need representation. It will have to be on contingency but if recovered I would pay more to the attorney that took the case than 33% much more.
A: Hey there, this matter seems pretty serious. Can I ask, what exactly is your question here? Do you seek to recoup the funds?

A:
If what you posted is true. You need to get a copy of the award or judgment. As it seems to be over 10 years old, there may be some time-limit issues.
If that $ is in a trust account for your deceased husband, you will need to get a court order from the surrogate's court to get it. If you have more questions just reach out again.
Please do not delay.
