A: There is no way to know for certain. You would need rock solid admissible proof of the hidden income. Whether or not you had ineffective assistance of counsel, may be helpful. But there are too many unknowns to answer your questions without an in person consultation and document review. For most attorneys, that would be beyond the scope of a free consultation. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember a cheap attorney is rarely good and a good attorney is rarely cheap.
