If you want to hire me, please contact me. Otherwise, please don't expect a further response. We need an actual written agreement to form an attorney-client relationship. I'm only licensed in CA and you shouldn't rely on this answer, since each state has different laws, each situation is fact specific, and it's impossible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and documents at issue. less

   Answered May 08, 2012 12:41. A judge is not supposed to provide legal advice to the parties before him. It sounds like he was trying to tell you that you need to be educated on the legal and factual issues involved in your case. You will need to do some legal research - go to the local law library, or take all your stuff and contact an attorney.
