I must say that I am completely disappointed by this organization. I was approved for Legal Aide more than 2 weeks ago and from the beginning I had trouble with anyone calling me back. I spoke with only 2 people, a Lawyer from Fairfax office and a female Legal Assistant in Fredericksburg... the only help I received was from a Clerk that asked me to bring in my paperwork and told me someone would call me on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Yet no one called... So I called them and again yesterday and spoke to another clerk that assured me that a Paralegal for the attorney would call me today and still no call was returned... So now I face court alone tomorrow with absolutely no legal advise whatsoever even though one of the Attorneys told me he would speak to me after the Fairfax office sent over my paperwork releasing my case because I applied to the wrong office. I can only pray that all goes well for me... and if it does it won't be because legal aide works helped me in the least bit. I guess my case wasn't important enough for them to bother with. Nice to know that people in need are placed in categories of priority and ignored if it's not worth their time. All I wanted to know was would I be facing this on my own and they couldn't even give me that much of their time or to offer me anything in the way of legal advice on how to handle things. In the future I won't be asking them for any help pro-bono attorney's should I ever need it again. (I pray not) I'll do it on my own as I always have. I've learned that you can't count on anyone but yourself. Thanks for nothing Legal Aide Works. I suppose it only works for some and not others.
UPDATE- I lost my case and was devastated when I was told I must sell my house in 90 days or I'd have to give up my rights to my home and have them auction it off to the highest bidder and pocket the money. So just know this... that no matter the reason a landlord in the state of Virginia can evict you for no reason whatsoever . If you are living on a Month to month lease.
