  Sorry if this is not allowed. We just moved here and we need a name of a very good family lawyer. We are done playing my husbands ex wife's games. I would need them to be registered in illinois also. Thank u!

  Immigration Lawyer Recommendation Hello everyone, I have been living in Des Moines for a few months now and I'm finally getting married to my fiancée (we have been together for the past 4 years). After we get married I need to start the paperwork for a green card application. The problem is that I hadn't anticipated how expensive this process was. I called a firm this week and their fee for filling the paperwork was almost 3k plus the 1.5k on federal fees. And this is a lot of money for me at this moment because most of my income is being reserved for our wedding in December. So my questions is: Do you know any law firm that has a good reputation and whose fees would be a little lower than that? I wouldn't mind personally calling and making appointments to discuss my situation with the lawyers, the problem is that they are charging around 100 dollars for this assessment. And this will add up. Thank you in advance for all your help.

  If you meet the financial requirements (i.e. Make less than a certain amount of money) Iowa legal aid is free. Iowalegalaid.org is the website I think. Google it if this doesn't work

  Can anyone suggest a good local person to handle child support payment disputes, etc? Sliding scale fees would be a bonus. Thanks.

  Iowa legal aid will only get involved if there's abuse. At least that's what i was told a year ago from them. They don't have the funds to help all cases.

  Becky W. asked:

  Well, gotta air my frustration with this AWFUL Black Hawk County. I went to court last week for a bill from Covenent that was 12 years old. I had insurance at the time, but apparently was not filed. Today, I got put in jail, booked, mug shot, frisked and spent two and a half hours there for failure to appear; and I DID appear last week. Cost me $125 to get out plus the 28.85 for booking. Anyone know a good lawyer for false arrests?? I have never been arrested and should not have been this time. If everyone is getting put in jail for a bill, look out everyone, cause everyone owes someone. Not saying I was jailed for that, but when you go to court and still get in trouble, something wrong with that picture. So when you see my mug shot, not legal.

  First you call the BH Co Attorney's office, they'd be who can clear it up. If you want compensated for personal damages I suggest calling IA Legal Aid 235-7008 and see if they can help or at least recommend someone. Pretty sure you'd have to prove it was intentional on their part but as I said, I'm here to help you in any way I can cuz I'm tired of this kind of bullshit happening to good people just because they are in control. You fight back, stand up for yourself you get labeled as trouble and never see a break...just sayin, the legal system does not work the way it was intended to and it is very disturbing.
