Q: I have had fraud committed against me

You can start by filing a complainant with the bank that issued the debit card; then calling the local police agency and advise them, OR in Connecticut, you can file a report with the Attorney General - Office of the Consumer Fraud Protection at 860-808-5318.
Q: Will I be arrested for changing my husband's mailing address to mine? (we are separated)

Q: I am seeking a pro Bono lawyer to help with this matter. My family was laughed at as we left the motel also followed
The motel employees and owner treated us like crap and now we are sleeping in my truck. My children are ashamed and disappointed by the treatment and verdict.
I'm sorry for your ordeal here. You could contact the State Bar of California - they have resources for free legal help that you could explore. They are located in the section of their website, "Public." Good luck
