I'm looking for an attorney who can help me sue someone for damages related to their abusive history.
I was abused and neglected by my dad since childhood. This includes physical, mental, and sexual abuse. Unfortunately, I don't have the solid proof that the police want to do anything about it. It wasn't until recently that I was informed by other attorneys that the medical records that I've accumulated for the past 5 years would serve as strong evidence in court. I've been admitted as an inpatient in a psychiatric facility 4 times, multiple evaluations from past psychiatrists and medical doctors, a list of all of the medications I was prescribed while living with him, reports from when I was admitted to the ER, and potentially more information from places that can only be acquired by an attorney. Professionals that offer services like phyciatric forensic exams and such I haven't had any luck also because of them needing to be requested by an attorney.
My issue is that I can't afford to pay $5k and up. Many lawyers I've gone through expect to have the money upfront, and that's not an option for me at this time. I make a decent amount and don't expect services for dirt cheap, but someone who offers a payment plan or cheaper services would be very helpful.
