Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

July 1st, 2009 I was hit in the head by my neighbor with a beer bottle, spent time in the hospital with a head concussion, the sheriff took a very poor report, made mistakes, did not state the facts as the interview was tape recorded, I filed a 2nd and 3rd charge against the same person, Went to restraining order court and the judge said the defendant not only hit me, but with a great degree of force and issued a permanent restraining order, however, they seem to not be prosecuting the defendant in criminal court,

How do I find a lawyer to represent me for a civil court case?

"Find a lawyer"?

By being able to show that you have a case with merit, meaning you can prove your allegations and win the case, and with value, meaning you have medical, physical and economic damages with substantial provable monetary value, and with collectibility meaning the defendant has sufficient assets or insurance to pay any settlement or judgment. If your case qualifies on all three issues, feel free to contact me.
