Yes. because the legal state is that he will go to court and agree to a annulment of marriage. Because he enter the marriage under false intensions

You cannot be legally married to two people at the same time. In fact, your "husband" may have violated state law by knowingly marrying a second person. You don't "need" a lawyer to obtain an annulment although it might be of assistance. The court in which to obtain a decree varies from state to state but they will likely point you in the right direction if you ask (1) your state's bar association or (2) a clerk in your local courthouse. Sorry to hear about your situation and best of luck in the future.
