Q: What kind of attorney do I need?
My father died intestate and my sister was appointed administrator. Long story short she wants everything and on top of that is suing me for 7500.00 in civil court. Ive managed to represent myself to this point but its getting more difficult. She has done things so wrong and barred me from the property even though that was my home for 15 years and my house is there. Her son is occupying my fathers house and she has changed locks/added locks to my own personal property. Its a mess and there will never be a relationship there. Only hostility. Any help is much appreciated. There is so much more to list.
A: For civil court you need a trial attorney. For probate court you need a type of trial attorney called a fiduciary litigator. Contact your local bar association or lawyer referral service.
