Hired Attorney

She rushed me into signing the agreement, said she had another client appointment. She met with my husband privately and they came up with a settlement that provided alimony on a declining scale over eight years. It was below poverty level. She told me in front of ex that "if we were to take this to court, she would get permanent alimony. So, why did she fail to represent my best interests?
