Prepaid legal would basically provide an attorney contact person and would write a couple of letters on your behalf. They would not represent you in court. But having someone deal with an attorney rather than you, and having that person receive letters on an attorney's letterhead, will very often back them off, cause them to mind their manners. People join prepaid legal when they know they'll be dealing with contracts or patent issues or things like that. I don't see why you couldn't go to the prepaid legal website today and sign up and have them write a letter to this person you're dealing with next week. Check the terms of service but I don't see why you couldn't sign up in anticipation of needing their services.

I live in Austin, TX if anyone is better at Googling than me. I turn up a bunch of gambling websites with "pet limit law austin". I don't think you can join prepaid legal and address a situation that is in the process of happening, but I could be wrong so I will check it out.

These kinds of situations have the potential to get nasty so make sure you're covered. Also, take a look at www.prepaidlegal.com. I know a couple of people who have it, one of whom used it to defuse a situation with animal control. I'm considering getting it myself. If you have any kind of representation you can have her deal directly with your attorney and have that attorney send a letter or two on office letterhead.

Well, it has gotten worse. I'm strapped for cash and have been trying to get the money that they owe me for medical bills. The director is now stating she is going to come take the cats on 12/3 (without reimbursing me the medical bills, of course). I would rather keep the cats with me, but they surely are not leaving here without me being reimbursed the money I have put out on them. I sent her an email stating this and that the cats were all registered and microchipped in my name and that I felt I could put forth a pretty good case for them being abandoned by this org. I'm freaking out here. I really can't afford a lawyer - I suppose I could take out a home equity loan on my home. There's got to be a way to deal with this other than that, though. The director does not care for me...because I do bizarre things like expecting them to do what they said they are going to do, and I will call her on it when necessary. -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20 -- Vist the Rescuties store and save a kitty life! http://astore.amazon.com/rescuties-20
