Property taxes.

Property taxes.

Our very small (just four units!) homeowners association has been left in a bad position by our developer.  Our HOA has just $12,000 per year in income from dues, and this is mostly committed to essential expenses like insurance, mowing, etc.  The HOA cannot afford attorney fees.  We would like to get some direction from legal aid.

I am wanting to file for visitation to daughter. I have been divorced for about 7 years and custody was awarded to the mom. I was awarded parenting time but never had it enforced. There are reasons why and will discuss.

Important Information

Legal Aid Funding
Legal aid professionals and organizations oftentimes receive government funding for taking on cases with those who cannot afford attorneys. For the most part, funding is limited so legal aid entities can only take on a limited amount of cases. Qualifications are often rigid.
