What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA. I am being sued for an alleged assault and battery. This part of my life NEVER happened. This guy I used to work with is falsely suing me for assault and battery. Ghost assault supposedly happened at work. His attempts at getting me fired all failed including, this alleged assault, no witness in police report, no injuries. Never reported to unit manager, house manager, no police contact with me until close to 4 weeks later. This all supposedly took place last year, statute of limitations was close to running out after I read the court papers. I have no money, no job, disabled as of right now, so no way to even THINK of hiring one a lawyer. I'm in need of one so I won't go into court proceedings blind. This guy is mentally ill obviously. This didn't go the way he wanted and went too far now with the police report, somewhere in his twisted mind, he smoldered on this in his head, got more upset because he wasn't the one to dethrone me in the manner he thought fit to his liking. Why he waited over a year and half if what he's now claiming, injuries to the ankle and shoulder(which ones?) were not taken care of back then? He worked days, weeks and months there after, no management approached me about said incident, I was never disciplined or talked to about alleged incident and this out of nowhere witness was never mentioned in the false police report, but poof, they miraculously appear. I don't want to walk into court proceedings and get blindsided on any issues. I also want to counter sue for defamation of character, slander, filing a false police report and any other damages under the law. I'm in serious need of a pro bono lawyer. Anyone, any help will be greatly appreciated.
