Customer: New York .
JA: Thanks for all these details. What steps have you taken so far?
Customer: I contacted Legal because I went to the Department of Education on Chambers Street.
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.

Your answer is ready and you can read it below!

After you review it please let me know if the answer is clear and if you have any follow up questions for me. I will be happy to answer them!

It helps to prepare your case with a good narrative or story of what happened.

This helps focus the presentation of the facts and arguments. It is often useful to have a chronological timeline of events with facts and back up evidence (e.g. e-mails, texts, photos, witnesses)

In your situation, I think that you would benefit from local representation.

You can seek an attorney on commission, flat fee or pro bono basis. You can search by location and practice area through the American Bar association, state bar associations, as well as Justia. I would recommend focusing on a solo practitioner who commit time, experience and passion to advancing your interests.
