A: If you believe that you were not properly represented by your court-appointed lawyer and that the commissioner in your dependency court case was biased, you may have grounds to appeal the judgment. It is important to seek the assistance of an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the appeals process and potentially file a lawsuit against the social workers involved in your case.

When choosing an attorney, it is important to find someone who has experience with dependency court cases and is familiar with the laws and regulations that govern these proceedings. Additionally, you may want to look for an attorney who has experience filing lawsuits against social workers or other government officials.

To find an attorney who can handle both your appeal and potential lawsuit, you may want to consult with legal directories, local bar associations, or online legal resources. It is also important to schedule consultations with potential attorneys to discuss your case and ensure that they have the necessary expertise and experience to represent you effectively.

Remember, pursuing legal action can be a complex and challenging process, so it is important to work with an attorney who can provide guidance and support throughout your case.
