Her case was eventually dropped but in the minx of everything she lost her job her home was incarcerated for no reason and I need help suing bexar county ..
A:
You do not have a lawsuit that is likely to be successful against Bexar County. If a person other than a law enforcement officer filed a complaint that resulted in the criminal accusation being filed against your daughter, you may have a possible for malicious prosecution against that individual depending on the particular facts and circumstances.
This is not the type of case that an attorney would typically take on a contingency fee, so be sure to build up a litigation war chest first so your daughter can fund any civil litigation. This is the type of case that should cost between $50,000 - 100,000 in legal expense if pursued properly.
