I have been approved by legal aid for coverage. But, I am having a very difficult time finding a lawyer who will accept my legal aid certificate. I've searched legal aid website for a lawyer, but all lawyers I found were too busy to take on the case. I cannot afford a lawyer on my own.
The respondent in my case is not providing disclosure so I am at a complete standstill. I attempted to schedule a motion, twice now. I'm finding the clerk's very difficult to deal with scheduling my motion, although I've had duty counsel assist in my paperwork.
I have done quite a bit of the work to prepare my case on my own, up to this point. I've obtained information through the freedom of information act, civil and small claims court proceedings the respondent is a part of, etc. I filed my application citing case laws, etc etc.
Has anyone else dealt with legal aid? What are your thoughts vs self representing?
The respondent had already threatened me stating if they have high legal bills I will be paying for it. That makes me very nervous
