Last night I was served with a "Temporary Protection Order and Notice of Hearing - Harassment". This was filed by the mother of my daughter's rapist, seemingly in retaliation for the restraining order my daughter had filed 4 days earlier.
I have made no threats. Made no attempt to contact them. Didn't even know the name of the mother or her minor son before reading the temp order. The entire thing would be laughable if she hadn't asked for my weapons to be surrendered. Surrender was not granted in the temp order. I have to appear in court Wednesday morning!
Anyway, I looked at the Second Amendment Foundation (life member) website but didn't find an attorney in my area (Tri-Cities, WA). After a couple of calls to criminal lawyers, it became obvious I cannot afford a lawyer ($2,500) due to long term under employment. I do have some money saved but no credit card. Similarly, I'm not doing well at finding so much as a referral on the NRA (life member) website.
I need some help even if it's just advice from a lawyer.
