Legal Question in Federal Tort Claims in California
Where to start...
Greetings. I am looking for a starting point for my abuse
case from
1984-ish in California. I currently live in Oregon. I
would like to pursue
criminal, as well as, civil charges. However, I do not
have a particularly
large amount of discretionay income to pay an attorney.
Any advice or
assistance that you may be able to provide would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank you, in advance.

Re: Where to start...
I would start by going to the public library and reading up on the Act itself, then calling various legal services organizations to see if you can get assistance that way. I would not try to do it on the cheap by hiring a lawyer who doesn't know how to handle these kinds of cases or do it yourself. Call the bar of California, and ask for a referral in your area. At least the initial discussion should be free.
