You need to go back to your country and apply for a spousal visa from there. Where are you from?
I tell it like it is.

There have been many people on this site asking the same question and if you do a search you will see they have all been advised the same
The quickest way is to return home as a spousal visa cannot be issued in this country and a good lawyer should have known this.
Overstaying is not a barrier to your visa being issued and if all your documentation is in order it should take less than a month to return to the UK
