A: It sounds like you're going through a very difficult time, and it's important to find the right legal support to help you with your situation. If you feel you’ve been scammed, you may have legal grounds to take action, and there are resources that can assist you even if you are facing homelessness and mental health challenges.

You should reach out to a military legal assistance office, which offers free legal help for active duty, retirees, and some veterans. They can guide you on how to handle your case and provide advice based on your circumstances. In addition, some nonprofit organizations also provide legal aid to veterans and individuals with disabilities.

If you’re unsure where to start, contact local veteran or social service organizations that can connect you with the resources you need, including legal help. It's important not to go through this alone—there are people who can help you navigate the process and ensure you get the assistance you deserve.
