A: It sounds like you have gone through a difficult legal process and have experienced some challenges with representation and evidence. Here are some potential options you may want to consider:

Appeal: If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your CHRO judgment, you may be able to file an appeal with the California Court of Appeals. This would require the assistance of an attorney who can guide you through the process and represent your interests.

Limited scope representation: If you are having difficulty finding or retaining an attorney, you may be able to seek "limited scope" representation, which means that an attorney would provide legal services for a specific task or aspect of your case, rather than representing you fully. This can be a more affordable option and may be helpful if you only need legal assistance with a specific aspect of your case.

Police report: If you have experienced property damage or theft, you may want to consider filing a police report. The police can investigate the matter and potentially identify the person responsible.

Counseling or therapy: It sounds like you have experienced a lot of trauma and loss, and it may be helpful to seek support from a mental health professional. Counseling or therapy can provide a safe space to process your feelings and work towards healing and recovery.

It is important to remember that every case is unique, and the best course of action will depend on the specific facts and circumstances of your case. It may be helpful to consult with an attorney who specializes in the area of law that applies to your case, and who can provide personalized legal advice and representation.
