Person I’m asking for a lawyer suit to get paid or my things back please
I'm sorry to hear about your situation, Elizabeth Lisa. It seems like you are dealing with a tough situation.
From what you shared, you may have a claim for conversion, which is the wrongful possession of another person's property. Here are some general steps you might consider:
- Document everything: Keep track of all interactions.
- Send a formal demand letter: Detail what you are owed and request its return.
- Legal action: If he refuses, you may need to file a claim in small claims court.
Also, consider reaching out to local legal aid societies in Alaska as they often provide free or low-cost legal assistance.
Remember, this is general advice. For specific guidance, you should consult with a local attorney.
