Welcome! My username is ***** ***** - I've helped thousands of satisfied customers on JA as a licensed attorney.

Legal issues can be confusing so I'll do my best to assist.

It will just take a moment for me to review your question and do the best I can to address your concern!

Thank you! I look forward to helping you and I hope you will find this site helpful!

I'm so sorry; yes often the rates don't keep up with income/benefits.

Generally before suing a public agency for an error such as an incorrect assessment a complaint must be filed with the agency, they can conduct an internal investigation. This probably sounds like a conflict of interest since it is the very agency that one has an issue with that is in the position of being allowed to make a decision in regards ***** ***** agency! Unfortunately that is what qualified immunity means. Typically they will hold either a hearing, or a paper mediation (this depends on the specific rules of that agency) and make a ruling. Then if the issue is not resolved to the individual's satisfaction the matter can be appealed to civil court (the administrative process must be exhausted prior to this). The civil court has ultimate authority and the agency would have to comply with their ruling, including any injunctions. So that is at least good - that the courts do have oversight. That helps protect against the conflict of interest. This explains sovereign immunity: https://info.nicic.gov/nicrp/system/files/027037.pdf

Oh I am so sorry; back surgery is so painful. I'm sorry they weren't considerate.

Were you able to review the above about administrative appeals first, then civil court if necessary?

Customer
Okay

Here is an article from the American Bar Association on how to hire an attorney, as well as a link to their referral program;

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/legal_services/flh-home/flh-hire-a-lawyer/

Many find that useful.

This is very important as it explains how billing works
