No one ever does. I’ll not reiterate the comments of **missbunny** and **Random**. Instead, google “your city + bar association” or “your county + bar association” and look on your local bar’s webpage for when lawyers donate (or cheaply provide) legal advice. Many area bars have free call-in numbers once a month, where you can call, speak to a lawyer licensed in your jurisdiction who will be able to ask you the questions a lawyer would need answers to before responding to your problem. Best of luck.
