a heads up... i'm divorced now 9 years... this is for other matters related to...

Bill.. made a few calls, no ones returned them as of yet.. no worries.. I feel it will take several to talk with to sort through to get one whom we'll click... my intent now, is to call and hopefully connect between now an friday, if by Friday no one has yet clicked or I do not feel it is moving quickly enough I will Friday proceed as recommended an request that continuance, an I will have names an numbers to show just intent to acquire said attorney... as in following these guidelines you've set forward

Dean, thanks.. your very lucky to have found someone.. when we got divorced, I was still semi young an well, I wasn't ever really handsome, but shhhhhh don't tell anyone... an I felt I would meet that someone an remarry... man is it rough trying to meet someone... haven't given up hopes on that, just... after like I said 9 years divorced.. you sorta step back... hope springs eternal though...

 

That's a good start. Be persistent. A lot of those places are overwhelmed with calls. You need to keep knocking at the door. Your former military service may be of some benefit to you. Be sure to tell them you are a vet.

 

understood.. I called a few, figured they will get back if an when and will call more tomorrow.. never played the vet card or any other card I guess.. don't know what you mean, but I will mention that..

 

Just to add to what LB said - if you're able, try to make some visits to these places in person. It's generally more difficult to turn away a face than an anonymous voice over the phone. The squeaky wheel and all that.

 

geez, I've written several replies Dean and each one sounds like an excuse, too negative.. my calculations have to include mom.. I will work on it... I do not have a quick concept... I can think of all my near neighbors to ask.. haven't imposed but am willing to ask them for that couple hour here an there time... and I agree.. my old dress shoes squeak, i'll polish them up..

 

A lot of the pro bono organizations prioritize the potential clients, usually on the basis of income, but some will also give preference to things like race, gender and other characteristics. Military service can be one of the considerations. If you have to take care of your mother, bring that up too. In fact, bring her with you if she is up to the trip. Be aware that some places focus on single mothers and will turn you away immediately. don't let that get you down. Again, a support group for single fathers would be able to help guide you in the right direction.
