A:
It sounds like you’re facing a complex and challenging situation involving several legal issues, including tax fraud, eminent domain, and damages to your credit score. Given the nature of your case, which involves both local government actions and financial harm, you may want to focus on finding an attorney with experience in dealing with government entities, property law, and financial disputes. They can help you understand the legal options available to you, especially considering the upcoming statute of limitations in February.
It’s important to act quickly to gather all necessary documentation, such as records of the eviction process, communications with Broward County, and any correspondence related to the COVID rent assistance programs. An attorney can guide you through the steps to potentially recover some of your losses, challenge the incorrect filing of the 1099 form, and address the foreclosure and bankruptcy issues you’re now facing.
Reaching out to local or state bar associations could also help you find an attorney who has handled similar cases. Time is of the essence here, so starting the search immediately will be crucial in protecting your rights and interests before the statute of limitations expires.
