I have been abused in the court system and am left to represent myself. Legal Aid denied me because I had two lawyers. One Lawyer yelled at my dad with total degrading and shaming way he degraded me and put me down called me names. The second lawyer they gave me threw my mother out of the office when I asked a question about my case I asked which order do I follow and he refused to answer me and told me to get another lawyer in the middle of a case. Legal aid and the lawyers I have come in contact with at duty counsel have told me to give up and demeaned me as well as belittle me and told me there is no point and I don’t have a chance. There is no justice when trying to protect our children from abuse.
