If you're in anything above small claims court it will be nearly impossible for you to proceed without a lawyer. If you can find a lawyer willing to work on a contigency, there would be no problem with affording one.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669859538951068032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4752553256906247535.post-49397166997829396822008-10-09T06:50:00.000-07:002008-10-09T06:50:00.000-07:00Any lawyers in your area who take pro-bono cases? ...Any lawyers in your area who take pro-bono cases?

My husband plans to contact our local news stations after we see how the claim plays out. They have an "On Your Side" segment.<BR/>Thanks for your suggestions.

A Better Business Bureau, or for instance, our local tv station has a consumer protection line, and if they find a complaint to be valid, will report it on air, which the merchant does not want.

He lives 2000 miles away though so he's limited in what he can do, but he's been helpful in direction me toward the correct forms and laws that support my case.Moxymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00850238812352810843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4752553256906247535.post-42333691621990038852008-10-08T04:43:00.000-07:002008-10-08T04:43:00.000-07:00That sucks!

Don't know who was worse - the woman who made the claim or the lawyer who thought she had a case.<BR/>Can you get your brother to help you out?
