I applied for legal aid at the Covington office two months ago and have called weekly. I have made four personal visits to no avail. I have had two voicemails from the attorney there saying “call me back”.
I was told by his office staff that he is the only attorney working for legal aid in four counties and is also serving as office manager. So I know he is overwhelmed. I have left messages stating that if he would tell me a time and day I would be there because I know how busy he must be, but now there are no calls from him at all.
Recently, however, I was told by someone outside that office that there may be other reasons why I am not be contacted. I am a white, partially disabled, elderly lesbian who lives of $750 a month social security. I am aware that any combination of those defining characteristics may be reason to not want to work with me and I would bear him no ill will as that is his prerogative. Then again that might not be the situation at all. He may have worked himself to death and, if so, my prayers are with his family and loved ones.
My case is relatively simple: a no fault divorce. I cannot file myself because I own a small piece of land and house.
If there is anyone out there who can help me (or that poor over extended attorney) please reach out.
Blessings and Balance

Thanks to Mary Mayhem!

Nice people

I wouldn't recommend. I was "being helped" and thought positive about it, out of nowhere the attorney does a complete 180° and starts being very negative about my case. There are better attorneys out there, find someone else!!
