The situation goes like this. A friend of mine was driving in his vehicle, does not have a chl. He was being harassed by bikers and being forced off the road. He was fearing for his like and drew his firearm to back them off. No shots fired in this incident. One of those bikers called the police and they pulled him over. He explained the situation and advised that his firearm is in the vehicle. He was arrested(charged with unlawful carry), firearm confiscated, and vehicle impounded. The prosecutor ultimately dropped the charges. What he wants to do is file a suit against the city (Harker Heights) but there are no lawyers in his area that will take the case. He is even willing to go beyond the 33% settlement fee for the lawyer. Can anyone refer me to a lawyer in the Austin/Temple/Killeen area that may be interested in taking this case? I appreciate any info you can give. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section and move if necessary.
It's a matter of economics,lawyers are not going to take a weak case on contingency; they would starve.
