"I just need a motion and order to withdraw funds from the registry of the court (New Orleans, Louisiana, parish of Orleans)." I'll point her here to this comment. Thanks so much.
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. . .
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.
