I spoke with an attorney from legal aid at the courthouse who was willing to work my case and said that it should be relatively simple. When I went into the office, the paralegal who had approached the front desk told me that they could neither help me OR give me any advice except to represent myself and hope for the best. She wouldn t let me speak to any attorneys or even let the lady at the front desk get in a word. Why is this organization even open or funded if they refuse to help?
