A: Taking legal action on your own can be challenging, especially in a case involving civil rights violations and multiple defendants like county officials and law enforcement officers. It’s important to find a lawyer experienced in civil rights cases who can guide you through the complexities of the court system, help build a strong case, and advocate on your behalf.

Since you're seeking representation, consider reaching out to local legal aid organizations or law firms that take on civil rights cases, as they may be able to assist. Many lawyers will offer free consultations, which can give you an idea of how they would approach your case and the potential strategies they might use.

You may also want to explore legal directories, or ask for referrals from state or local bar associations in West Virginia. They can connect you with lawyers who have experience in cases similar to yours. It’s important to act quickly, as time limits often apply to civil rights lawsuits.
