Been waiting since Jan for a probate lawyer. They don't believe in helping poor Veteran's widows. I reattempted in March nothing done since March what a worthless organization. Poor Veteran's widows have nochancexwith them. And they stopped coming to Operation Sacred Trust which was way easier for me to get to. IF you're a Veteran's widows better pray your help comes from another source. They won't even follow up on Willwriting. SHAME ON A OF YOU. MT HUSBAND SERVED OUR COUNTRY!!!! ALL YOU CAN DO IS VETERANS WIDOWS & LIIKELY SPOUCES NICE JOB..

They may hire new lawyers without a ton of experience but they do try their absolute hardest. J.axel is super kind and sweet and caring. i think he learned a lot working there since i met him almost two years ago now i think. i learned so much about the legal system too. if they help you feel blessed you have someone to help you

Never return phone calls - I’ve been calling for over two months! Look for someone who is actually trying to assist you.

Depends. If you are over 60 and need assistance with a chpt 13 to save your home from foreclosure than there's a good chance, otherwise you will be referred to the broward bar to consult with a private bankruptcy attorney

Weve been the victim of consumer fraud. Went through the BBB , Senior crimes, etc. We were offered a $600 settlement on a $2000 100%fraud. We are senior citizens on SS.Do you take these on a pro bono or contingency basis?

Wendie Flato | Sep 7, 2019
Lisa McCrum | Sep 7, 2019

I do not know. You should call them and inquire. Another avenue is to file a petition in Small Claims Court. The self-help department in the Court House can help you. My husband was jammed up by a company and went through this process. He was given what he rightfully was owed, just many months later.

Go to Family Court and file a case to request custody of the children. However, why do you want the dead woman's children around you, when they're at their aunt?

They are trying to evict us but the apartment has mold and repair to be done what can I do

Oliver Ortiz | Sep 7, 2018
Domminic ManBeast | Sep 7, 2019

Hello Mr. Ortiz I've have been recently evicted by a Scum Lord. All I can say is that Legal Aide has no attorneys to help anyone in this situation, but I do find it very Odd and not very Fair that they do have attorneys for other issues. Me and my Partner had to seek our own attorney and go to small claims court of Fort Lauderdale courthouse and ask for an Indigent Status Applications and both sue the landlord/owner. It isn't a easy process though. We Bid you Good Luck everyone!

I have received a summons recently. The plaintiff is trying to collect a debt from a previous employer. How can I protect myself when the debt is truly the employer?

Coordinator RTM | Sep 7, 2018
THE LAW & ORDER UNIVERSITY | Sep 7, 2018

Respond to the summons and go to court let the court know that it isn't you. But if you were the owner, then you're liable by law to compensate the plaintiff plus interest and maybe an attorney fees. "If your conscience is functioning and you know that it is you (your business). Do the right thing and pay your debt?" if you have never used your conscience, try using it today! Have a blessed, prosperous and beautiful day!

Is it an easier process to go in person?

Bambii Charles | Sep 7, 2018

Would someone be able to help my mother file Probate for my father? The court wasn't helpful, could only redirect me to the law library. I think I have almost all of the paperwork needed, but they claim we're missing something.

Catherine Wires | Feb 8, 2022
Jonathan Samudio-Facyson | Feb 8, 2022

They might can point in you in the right direction. I used them once it was given a list of lawyers so I can go see. The service wasn't all the way free, I had to pay like 5 or $10. Maybe 20. I don't know. But I'm looking to use the again.
