My question involves juvenile law in the State of: California I ran away from home after a huge argument between my mom and me when I was 15. I was also on probation at this time for running away and lying about my name to a officer. im 18 now and I don't know my ssn or have any type of documents saying I am who I am. iv tried calling my probation officer who told me the only way she would help is if I turned myself in. my family have also turned there back on me, given iv tried to find contact to my mom for over a year and a half, iv fb my fathers brother and my mothers sister but no answer from anyone.
Its starting to get obvious everyone from my past is now operating out of hate, even though iv came to peace with my ugly past. its also obvious theyre all treating me like a kid that's lost and dysfunctional. Im neither of those things. I just want to get my proper paper work so I can begin going to school and working.
I think I should get a lawyer, im no criminal nor was I as a juvenile. I just couldn't be controlled the way my family and probation officer wanted me to. I don't operate well in mean or hateful situations and thats why I never went back home. I am a better person for it.
what kind of lawyer do I get?
do you think Ill have to serve lots of time?
my goals deeply include traveling, will this ruin my future?
Any help or advice will be so useful!
THANKS!
