Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
I'm am looking to file suit against the the County of Orange through court records. On several occations, Information was released to the public with out a court order which contained Medical/Psychological, and also priviliged information and writings between the Defendant (Myself) and the presiding judge. This information was release to a non court officer back in 2005 as well as to me in 2005 and in 2009.
In a family law case, the Respondent used the information against me, the Plaintiff in which I had to file a motion to strike and it was granted. I need a civil rights attorney or a federal attorney that will file the complaint agsints the courts and the county and all does.
My HIPPA rights and privacy have been violated.

The statute of limitations for most lawsuits against public entities is six months. In some cases this can be extended to one year. Civil rights lawsuits have a two year statute. So forget about anything that happened in 2005: you snoozed, you lost. Your question also lacks sufficient detail for me to figure out what you are talking about. If you want to tell me more, preferably not about stuff that happened in 2005, send me an email or fax.
Even if you had a claim with merit and value, which is always quite difficult to prove, you have waited far too long and are barred by the statute of limitations. Claimants have only 6 months to bring the 'Damage Claim' against any government entity.
