Q: I need an attorney that would take my case on a contingency basis.It is a civil case lawsuit
My sister took out a guardianship on me by lying her way through and using my Medical Drs. name in the process and he stated he did not release any info to her I went to court and my medical records were so good there was no way she could win so she removed herself and now wanting me to pay her attorney fees, I did not originate them and I am not going to pay them. She also stole from my household and the insurance company will not honor my loss as it was not a forceful entry, it would not be if she found my keys and made duplications of them. Can you help me in filing suit against her?
A:
Have you reported the theft to the police? Theft is a criminal matter.
It is unclear on what basis you wish to pursue a civil claim for monetary damages which would justify an attorney handling the matter on a contingency basis. You will probably need to hire someone on a lump sum or hourly rate.
