How i do find pro bono lawyers in my county instead asking offices?

Diane Buerger
Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
If it is a criminal case, you are unlikely to find a pro bono attorney willing to represent you since in Florida you are entitled to the services of an attorney who works for the Public Defender's Office if you are considered indigent. If it is a civil case, most counties have an agency that will review your case to see if you meet its indigent, or partially indigent, criteria. Even then, such agencies have the right to decide whether or not to accept your case -- and whether to do it on a pro bono basis or a "sliding scale" basis that is dependent on your ability to pay. In my county the agencies are known as "Heart of Florida Legal Aid Society" and the "Florida Rural Legal Services." If you cannot determine the name of such agencies that handle cases in your county, you may be able to get that information from the Florida Bar Referral Service (phone: 1-800-342-8011).

Can I sign a warrant on my daughter-in-law for breaking into my house?

Answered by attorney Lawrence Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
She was not paying rent, but she was living at the address. You in order to just put her out, you need to provide her with formal written notice that she cannot come back, and seek dispossesory at the courts.

How can I drop case of sexual molestation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
YOU don't get to drop a case, only the prosecutor does. You can go talk to them. When talking about sexual abuse or domestic violence charges, police and prosecutors vigorously prosecute those cases, even over the objection of the victim, and their tearful recanting and claims of mistake or misunderstanding about their reporting. They long ago grew tired of seeing the victims drop charges, only to be found later abused or worse by the same person, OR someone else victimized by the same person. If you were actually a victim, charges should be filed and not dropped. Unless someone stuck a gun to your head and made to lie and fabricate untrue charges, you were not forced to do this.
