But what the judge said is very true: the date a lease is signed is not necessarily the... View More

More facts are needed to answer this question. Appeals are usually rare.
financial information, the judge that appointed my trial attorney now says that I have equity in my house (I don't) and a vehicle to sell (I don't). I need an appellate attorney and I am out of ideas. Any thoughts on the subject would be greatly appreciated. What are my options?
