[blindlaw] question

[Dennis Clark]

Hello Beth,
Can you fill me in on some of the details.  The email posted to the list 
just says you were needing a lawyer to represent you.  You said that you 
have been declared incompetent because you are blind and made a bad decision 
earlier.  What bad decision did you make?  Did this just happen and is that 
why you need the lawyer?  Also, who is Metro Bono?  If you can provide me a 
little more information, perhaps I can send you to someone in Florida who 
can help you.  I'm a lawyer in California, so I cannot help you directly.  I 
look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Dennis
