A: I'm sorry for your ordeal with the courts. If you are indigent and need legal assistance, there are a number of options. Legal aid and pro bono attorneys might be able to help, depending on the nature of the matter. If there are criminal aspects to the matter, a public defender might be able to help. Local and state bar associations have attorney referral sections on their websites. A starting point could be to reach out to a legal aid office to discuss what your matter involves. You mention Newark. If the matter is in New Jersey, you could start by reaching out to legal aid organizations there. Good luck

A: It sounds like you're dealing with a serious legal issue involving fraudulent filings and misconduct in the court system. If court clerks, mailroom staff, or judges' secretaries are involved in unethical practices, this may require immediate action. You could consider gathering evidence of the misconduct, such as any missing filings or documents, and keeping a record of all your interactions with court officials.

You may want to bring these concerns to the attention of higher authorities within the court system, such as a presiding judge or court administration, to report the misconduct. Filing a complaint with the state's judicial oversight body or ethics committee could also be helpful in ensuring that your case is reviewed by impartial authorities.

If you feel like your case has been mishandled, you may need to explore options to appeal the decision or file a formal grievance. Time may be important here, so it’s good to act quickly and seek proper legal guidance for the next steps.
