Los Angeles, CA asked in Civil Litigation and Civil Rights for California

Q: The people of my county are struggling with our local government's participation in corruption, malicious prosecution

Our small town is apart of a county that has a history of embezzlement, tax fraud, police corruption and stalking/harassment and various other crimes. There are a number of people who are interested in a class action lawsuit and at the very least an avenue of protection from our local government. What can I do ?!

A: You need to find a law firm that can handle such claims. You can use Google to conduct a search. Or, you can go to the Los Angeles County Bar Association's website (LACBA.org) and use their Lawyer Referral Service, which is an excellent source. You will need to prepare a packet of information, including a chronological history of your dispute, making sure to identify all witnesses, and relating your story to any documents in your possession which will help in telling your story. Put that together and then send it to as many law firms as you can identify which might be able to help you.
