i would first try contacting the arresting agency.
if not successful, contact the court to request a return of property.
the clerks office may be able to guide you...........
unless the property was expensive, it probably does not pay to retain a lawyer, who will no doubt... View More

you may argue he abandoned the property and thus you can do what you want.
however, you are still dealing with the property of someone else.
i would write him a letter setting forth all the facts and give him until a date certain to remove it or you will do so.

a person A threatens to kill a person B. The person B runs away while being followed by the person A. The person B trips over, falls down on the ground, receives injuries, and dies when being followed by person A. Will the person A be found guilty of person's B death?
answered on Apr 9, 2023
the correct answer is it depends...on all the facts.
Was A arrested by the police?
Did the DA file or reject the case?
it is up to the DA to file and try the case or plead it out.
depending on the facts, it is possible A could be guilty of B's death.

if you are still having medical issues, seek additional help.
unless there is on going injury, I suspect it will be a challenge to find a PI trial lawyer that would take the case on a contingency.
however, you can still file in small claims court if you were injured for up to $10k.... View More

i think this is going to be an issue best handled by a family law attorney for the Domestic Violence Restraining Order.
you should make an appt with another lawyer to review the facts and determine if s/he would handle on a contingency or if you would have to pay a retainer.

Old attorney doesn’t want to represent me anymore in discriminatory claim, it’s very difficult to find an attorney to take my claim. Any suggestions?

When a lawyer "bows out" it is usually an indication that the case either no longer appears to have value; it will cost to much to go to trial, and there will be nothing left for the client ...or there is a challenge dealing with the client.
Remember, you are asking a lawyer to... View More

If you retain a lawyer, have him/her try to contact the filing Deputy DA to stop the filing.
