Question:

I'm a 100% disabled veteran who has been harassed by the Flathead County government for the past eight years by being arrested and incarcerated five times for no apparent reason. While incarcerated I was beaten up twice by the deputies to where I suffered concussions, broken bones and a stroke. Since then I've been threatened three times by the deputies and now I live in fear for my life. I have contacted the Montana Attorney General, Senator Tester, the U.S. Attorney General, and the FBI and I failed to receive any help. Can you help me?

Jim's Reply:

No, I can't help you. You need a local lawyer to help you call a halt to any abuse.
