My name is Chester. Middlebrooks every time I call I get no help because they are non profit you have to be evicted and not paying rent to get help my land had done fraud in the inducement of a contract failed to fix house that I fixed . I have receipts of up paid utility bills I paid. I can't get any help bringing them to court. The landlord even shut the water off that's retaliation . my rent is paid up this is absurd the black lady at the front desk after I got my appointment to bring in my documents she was like that alot of paper work meaning it's too much if they need to see my receipts for a year and for 20 k worth of damages what you expect the proof of burden is on me and I have an alarming amount of evidence . Walter clapp the next day called and said pickup my papers . After I drove 100 miles to bring them there . I brought them so I don't bombard their email address . Emails only allows so much to be sent at once and fax the photos will be muddy . I have worked hard to show my case is not frivolous work with me . The problem I'm having is lawyers want 3500 retainer fee none of the programs Im on allows me to have assets over 2000$ so how am I able to get a lawyer I got the judge to waive court fees but If i don't know what to do does that matter and the court staff tell me to contact mtsla or hire a lawyer if I could hire a lawyer why would I ask the court to waive the fees the whole system is messed up so because I'm disabled I get less representation not fair because the rules of dpphs is you cant have over 2 k in assets that means I could never save for effective representation and the statue of limitations is only for so long .I left my paper work so on april 9 when we meet again on tge phobe he can follow along with whats going how will he be able to do that with him asking me to pick them up. They are the pro bono lawyer office for the area and I can't get help I gotta be a drunk and be on drugs and evicted to get help this the second time I m getting no help

Well I was under the impression that we actually got an attorney through the MLSA, but come to find out you only get a 10-minute consultation with an attorney. So that bummed me out. But I am appreciative that. I got speak with one atleast.
