Finding Affordable Trial Lawyer

Summary

As a plaintiff, you have the right to competent legal representation. If your current attorney is unable to continue due to a medical emergency, you can request a continuance. To find an affordable trial lawyer, consider seeking assistance from local legal aid organizations, pro bono services, or law school clinics. If you do not qualify for legal aid due to income, explore resources like bar associations and legal hotlines for reduced-cost services. In Hermosa Beach, CA, the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the California State Bar Association can provide referrals and guidance.

we just started a civil case Tuesday. Turns out our attorney has never been in a trial. She does not know how to qualify me as a witness nor get evidence introduced. She is claiming a medical emergency and we need to find a trial lawyer to step in immediately. What are our rights as the plaintiff and where can we find good trial lawyer for cheap. Our resources are exhausted
