A friend on my other journal account is in need of a pro bono lawyer in Louisiana. Please speak up if you have any leads.

I know several. What is the situation?

Hello! I'm the one looking for a lawyer. My mother has funds sitting in a court registry in New Orleans (long story involving a portion of my grandfather's will and a dispute amongst his daughters). My mother and I are unable to afford legal fees, and assistance has been denied as neither of us live in Louisiana (we're in California). 

It's really not a complicated matter. It's just a form. All we need is a motion and order to withdraw the funds from the court registry. I attempted to acquire the form independently, but I was told we need a Louisiana lawyer to do this.

If you know of anyone who would provide free legal assistance to someone out of state. . .

I would be deeply thankful.

My email is woodfeet@gmail.com

Contact Ben Varadi at the common ground relief legal clinic in new Orleans east. Ben@cgrlegal.org. Tell him you were referred by Sri.

Thank you very much for the help. I sent along my information and a request for aid last week. I haven't received a response, which is not altogether unexpected considering I'm out of state.  I'm beginning to think I don't qualify for legal aid in Louisiana at all . . .

That's odd. I'll give him a call and see what's going on over at the clinic. I know his law partner had to cancel weekend plans because things got crazy.

Oh! I'll hang in there then. I know it's a very busy time of the year. Perhaps I should have sent more contact info. . . though I thought it would be best to first make sure I qualify.
