Q: WHAT TYPE LAWYER FOR MY CASE?
My eldest adult son obtained Orange County Superior Court determination that I do not have the capacity to handle my own financial and health care decisions. I need you to defend me. Please tell me what type lawyers will help me and defend me. Please explain to me your plan.
A:
Sir, please try to delete your personal information from your question as it is not appropriate for any attorney here to contact you directly. You need to look for an attorney here and then contact them.
It does sound as though your son is attempting to establish a conservatorship over you, although I'm not clear how far that process has progressed. If so, the court will appoint an independent attorney to represent you, although you are always free to retain your own. There are some very qualified elder law attorneys in Orange County that can assist you. You should contact one as soon as possible as there are strict time limits.
