Legal advice. How do you get it?

Post Reply New Topic

Basically, I wanted to take up a civil case to do with charges relating to ex support workers. Yes, that nonsense is still going on.

The problem is, I've tried everything I believe I can. The situation is unfair and annoying, but I called every lawyer. I have a criminal defense lawyer who lost some USB stick I provided, and besides that, I don't think he's in the least bit confident that challenging a court's decision would be successful.

Currently, I have non harassment orders active for women who were employed for Autism Initiatives in Edinburgh. This was about a decade ago, however, but contacting them to attempt to smooth things out with them just resulted in multiple trips to prison.

I called every lawyer, and calling the court itself is pointless. They "cannot offer legal advice" is the classic excuse. A member of staff or even a call to the police will almost always result in one being told similar things. Like that it's not a police matter, or that they cannot offer legal advice either.

They also told me to go to an advice shop for citizens, which I also belatedly got around to over the summer, again, as I'd been once before back in late 2019. I was just told they don't offer legal advice either. So then, who the hell does?

I don't trust the cops one bit anyway. They showed up at my flat over 2 years ago, during the pandemic, and presented an arrest warrant. This was days after a non harassment order had ended for one of these ex support workers I had serious issues with in previous years. But she was not involved in any of the breaches of bail, when I was contacting them to get to the bottom of why they betrayed me. The whole story is a mess, so I cannot reiterate it. But I firmly believe the police cooked up a ploy.

When they lifted me at my house by coming inside my property uninvited, I was not told why I was arrested, only that I was going to court, which was the following business day. But then I found out they seen a video I posted a year previously, with me talking about how they ruined my life. So do you think they came when they did so she could get a new order? Because, you know. That was essentially what the outcome in court was.

There was other problems I had with idiots as well, when some actress in independent movies slandered me on purpose. That was the whole point of adding evidence to a flash drive. Yet my solicitor made out he lost that.

So what can I do? I even went on these crappy legal advice forums to make an enquiry, but they are just generic users that are obviously not even legally qualified to give any advice online. But as you can imagine, my life sucks now. Because of this rubbish, social services have left me to rot. My mother is ill, and has to get a taxi everywhere now.

Lawyers give legal advice. Usually 30 min phone consultations for free so you can make a list of your questions and phone and cover a lot in 30 mins. I had an in person free meeting once and learned enough to defend myself and win.

Otherwise law students may help or legal advocacy groups that provide legal advice to poor/homeless people etc. We have those types of organizations here in Canada but from your post it seems you're in Scotland and need to navigate the legal system. Police/courts don't offer legal advice anywhere afik, only lawyers.



Your post is also quite jumbled and confusing. Not sure what type of legal advice you're seeking or what you want as a result or what pursuing legal action is supposed to correct in your life ?? You need to be much clearer about the basic facts of your case in order for anyone to help you. If you copied and pasted the text of this post to a lawyers' email they would promptly delete it because it's just a jumbled mess of complaints that's difficult to follow and no one can determine from it what sort of advice you need/want/expect, what they're supposed to help with and how.

If this is simply a matter of settling long overdue personal scores, it's entirely a waste of everyone's time and you should just forget about it and move on with your life. IMO.

Basically, I chose not to tell the whole story again as it rubbed people the wrong way in the past. And yeah. I will admit that my posts are not always the most structured at times. It is difficult to condense it when there is so much to explain.

I used to live in supported accommodation years ago, and these two women who worked for Autism Initiatives exaggerated because I liked them a little bit. Later on, I tried to apologize, but it's like they held a grudge. At the time, I was having an argument on Facebook with a guy about something unrelated, so he said something to this Spanish woman so it would come between us.

Like I said, it was something that began because I kind of developed a ridiculous infatuation, and I should have been fairly warned. I was not thinking straight. But then they turned on me and treated me like garbage. Their bosses told me lies as well, by saying they were busy, then calling the cops, only to lie about that too.

It quickly escalated from there. But then I got arrested for throwing a temper tantrum and got subsequently arrested, so I got remanded in prison before a court hearing. They deferred matters, so I tried to apologize again after I was freed, and I got arrested another twice, so they remanded me again. And it just snowballed from there, with me having one of their ex partners being an absolute jerk.

There was also a male support worker I had a few years before they came there, and he was sending me stupid emails with a nickname. But he admitted to doing that. He said something about a wrestler I liked, but he died. It was derogatory and unprofessional. He confessed he was going on Gumtree, to reply to adverts about me seeking a woman I met in 2005.

I don't think support workers can be trusted. But I guess it would not be fair to say they all suck. It could just be I was unlucky. But it is not cool how a guy employed as a care provider was doing that.

wish could offer something .. but you appear to be in a bit of a Sticky Wicket. Good Luck with this ,
Have seen much more serious situations . In which Prosecuetors and Police worked together against a woman whose husband was out and out murdered by someone I knew personally and he the killer with his GF worked together to make it look like this persons husband had attacked the woman whom fired a gun. at very short range to kill this persons husband , poor womans husband had no history of crime or violence . The Prosecuetor even knew the gun was too big of a handle to be fired by the woman claiming self defense .
Apparently the womans husband ran a foul of a friend of a Sheriffs deputy.living next door , but no interaction between them , she had said. So you might consider yourself lucky to have been able to survive your situation ???
that was in the USA.. Best of Luck either way.

This started years ago. It really all began way back in 2013, after I asked a support worker to date me. My head was a mess. But to do what they did, was just nasty. Anybody else would have been more professional and explained about the boundaries.

Unfortunately, I think you are right. There is probably a very limited amount of time available to take up a counter claim. Considering this mess happened years ago, that time limit would have ended long ago. But then I reckon my lawyer should have did that years ago like I hinted about, instead of messing me around.

It was difficult to prove what they did, as while they did tell lies and deceive me over and over again, it was done verbally, so it is certainly not easy to verify that any of this carry on ever took place. However, I did have proof when it came to different legal matters.

That is why I added this on a USB drive, to basically prove that other people were mocking me and costing me jobs as an extra in local film productions, then getting trolls in the United States to mention them on a stream being broadcast on YouTube. But of course, my lawyer made out he lost the device I personally gave to him.

My sister ended up in the same boat when she went through a long custody battle involving her kids, and she had her third child taken away in October just days after he was born. But it is futile to pursue what you have zero chance of winning, I guess.

It is what it is, I'm afraid.
