Not so. The fault is probably mine for not being clear enough though. The advance comes after the contract is signed. I have not yet signed.

My doctor has suggested that if I were considering an attorney, to forgo that route because my medical condition is too severe to require one in order to be successful. Riding to the bus station to drop off my wife on Saturday morning required a trip to the ER because the trip was too taxing and I went into crisis. I'm thinking that if I can't take a ride to the bus station without risking my life, then I have a pretty fair chance at hearing.
However, based on your input, the contract will sit on my desk until after the hearing and we'll see how it goes.
