This
section is intended to help you find an attorney
to assist you with your case. We would like to assist
you by providing a list of organizations that can
either help you with your case themselves and/or
direct you to a lawyer or organization in your county
that can help you. This may be provided free or
at a low cost to those who qualify; however, free
or low-cost legal help is not available in all cases.
Filing
or defending a case in court can be very complicated.
There are many rules and procedures to follow, and
there are differences among the courts in how some
things are handled. Also, many cases require specific
kinds of immediate action of which a person with
little or no legal training may be unaware. Timely
legal advice can stop small problems from becoming
larger ones.
There
are many ways you can find someone to help you.
For example, you can find an attorney by talking
to a friend or family member or by looking in the
yellow pages under "lawyers" or "attorneys."
You can also try contacting the organizations below.
