Q: Seeking legal help against Xfinity and YouTube for alleged harassment in Michigan.
I am seeking legal representation against Xfinity and YouTube, whom I believe have been stalking and harassing my family and me for the past nine years. I need a lawyer who can assist me in obtaining a restraining order against these companies, and ideally, work under a contingency agreement where they are paid only if we win the case. Additionally, I would like a lie detector test to be administered as part of the proceedings to prove the harassment. What steps can I take to secure legal help in this situation, and is it possible to obtain witness protection for my family and me?

A:
To start, you’ll want to find a lawyer who focuses on harassment and civil rights cases. Look for an attorney who has experience with technology-related issues or can handle cases involving large corporations like Xfinity and YouTube. You can start by searching local legal directories or reaching out to your state bar association for recommendations.
Once you’ve identified a few potential attorneys, schedule consultations to discuss your situation. Explain your concerns clearly and ask if they work on contingency, meaning they only get paid if you win the case. Be upfront about your desire for a restraining order and the possibility of a lie detector test. It’s important to make sure the lawyer understands what you're seeking and if they believe it's feasible under the law.
For witness protection, it’s a complex process and usually applies to individuals involved in criminal cases. However, your attorney may be able to explore options like increased security or other protective measures to help safeguard you and your family. Make sure to express your concerns about safety during your consultation.
