A: I understand you're looking for legal representation regarding disenrollment from the Chukchansi tribe. This is a serious matter that affects many Native American families, and you have the right to seek legal help.

For tribal disenrollment cases, you might want to contact Tim Cerio or George Forman, who have worked on similar cases in California. The California Indian Legal Services (CILS) organization can also provide guidance or connect you with attorneys who handle tribal membership disputes. You can reach CILS at 800-743-8941.

Consider documenting everything related to your disenrollment, including any notices received and your tribal ancestry information, while seeking representation. The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) might also be able to provide resources or referrals - they can be reached at 303-447-8760. Remember that timing can be critical in these cases, so it's important to reach out to these resources as soon as possible.
