[blindlaw] Attorney needed

[Ross Doerr]

Phillip, call the protection and advocacy in Florida - they may be listed as 
the Disability Rights Center - and they should have a statewide toll free 
number for you to call.
IF they cannot help you, they should have some resources for you to follow 
up on to try and find help.
Good luck.
