Denied a laywer?

[torchbearer]

I can't tell you, I've been working on this for over a year now.

If you want to PM your email I can send you a PDF of the complaint that I have to rewrite for federal court. It's pretty involved. The municipality has a record of prejudicial enforcement, sex discrimination, attempting and implementing unconstitutional law, etc. They need to be taken out.

We're taking cops on free drugs that they get for protecting the dealers. Plain clothes officers tasering a kid to death, kids growing up for generations in fear of the police.

I recently heard of a guy who did six years for ADW. One cop tasered the other cop in a scuffle and he did the time.

this is what you need to do-
you must contact your local legal services. they are funded by grants and they must show they are serving their local area.
So my guy can't help you.
Most legal services offices only take new cases once a week.
FOr example- our office takes new appointments beginning at 8:00am on every tuesday. The first ten people to call get their cases picked up. Everyone else must call back next tuesday.
So you need to call on the dot.

Find out what day your local office takes new clients.
During the follow up interview you will find out if they can help you or not.
Our attorney is a state attorney. He handles state cases, civil and criminal.
They may have people who do federal cases, so do still try them.

Try contacting the ACLU and see if they can help you. Not that I put much credence in them but hey, it's worth a try. This sounds like your civil liberties are being violated.

The ACLU requires "a letter, let us think about it, but we'll only take it if it is precedent setting."

I know for sure that I have never been told of such a procedure. I would have camped out all night for a shot at a lawyer.

did you ask them if there was a specific time they took new clients?

 

[torchbearer]

Legal Services gets its money by helping the most amount of people.
They have quotas to meet in their grant requirements.
They worked with our battered women's shelter because it gave them a steady stream of clients.
I don't see how you are having a hard time getting in with them- by their nature, they are looking for people to sign up.

 

[PaulaGem]

did you ask them if there was a specific time they took new clients?

I begged for help, they should have advised me if there was such a procedure.

All of the free legal service I have spoken to have said they would not handle anything to do with traffic and nothing to do with business.

So since the cops gave away $40,000 worth of my stuff, and they harassed me with a bad traffic beef I was out of luck.

you should file charges with the D.A.s office against the police department.
If your state law is similar to ours, a grand jury would be convened to judge the evidence to see if its worthy of a trial.

The police told me the D.A. wouldn't prosecute and I believed them. I was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown for what they did to me. There is some good CYA (cover your ass) law for government in Colorado. No state prosecution unless you file within very narrow time limits. Besides, they were protecting a drug informant at the time, the whole thing started because government was protecting itself.

Federal is the only option open.

then you must make it a law suit worth millions, and you need to sell the package to a private attorney.
This guy is the best in our state: http://www.goodelawyer.com/
He is currently about to win a $75 million dollar law suit against the rapides parish sheriff's department on behalf of my brother-in-law.
He regularly takes cases involving law enforcement misconduct.
Tell him Angel Doublet's brother referred you.
The worst he could do is say he doesn't have the ability to take on another case at that time.

Doublet is pronounce Do-Blay

I am friends with the mother of the boy who was killed. She had to carry her own acton for a year and take it to federal court before an attorney finally picked it up.

Her attorney can't take on another case. I haven't been able to find anyone. I don't think your attorney could take a Colorado case, but I would be happy to have a ghost writer or proof reader.

I am a very good writer, but I really need help with statute, case law, and format.

Paula,

During my last court date the judge told me if I plead guilty it would be a $200 fine and 30 days of jail.

 

[PaulaGem]

I don't get it - you HAVE to be given a lawyer if there us a jail sentence involved.

Please give me city and county, charge involved. PM me if you must.

 

[PaulaGem]

Were you given your Miranda rights at the time of arrest?

Can you find a listing for the public defender in your county?

Paula,

During my last court date the judge told me if I plead guilty it would be a $200 fine and 30 days of jail.

What's the charge?

Man, I'd really think about this, because depending upon what the charge is, it can mess you up for the rest of your life.

I was never arrested. So my rights were never read to me. After my friend was caught, they took us to the back, they took her home in handcuffs and I asked if I was free to go and he said yes.

But then the judge tells me I am looking at a $200 fine and 30 days of jail if found guilty.

The charge was shoplifting <$300

Here is my court docket

TBUT/DISP/SHPLFT <$300 (M)
