Your post is rambling and confusing.
Yes I realize this. I really wish that the legal aid people had gave me real help from the beginning, where the landlord was stalking me, had came at me with a knife, was throwing my food and property into a pile in the garage in mid-winter, hiding my applications for places to move to that had came in the mail and when it was all done and I was out, not accepting my rent payment by check (wanted cash only) I then later learn he had taken my SSI Review form that had came for me in the mail and wrote that I do not live there on it and stuck it back into the mailbox, he did this well before any court date even while I DID live there and I am very lucky I caught this in time to give them what they wanted.

It sounds to me like you have found a piece of the law that you think you can exploit for cash while avoiding eviction.
More than one piece. It just so happens that I studied the laws and learned what rights I have and also learned that I could be monetarily compensated for violations of the laws.
Yes I want to avoid eviction or delay it. I have the right to avoid illegal evictions. It is not easy or quick to find a place to move to in my situation.

You need to work with your Legal Aid attorneys- if you haven't already told them you intend to sue them.
The bottom line with Legal Aid was told to me twice. At one point they said that they really only want to help families. Later another one of them said they do not help individuals.

During the whole experience with them I was stalled along to the very last minute before court date almost. The lady in court for me had no idea what was going on with my case, she had said that she had not even read the sheriff's report that I had sent to their other attorney who never returned anything more communication than an emailed "thank you for sending the forms, I will investigate this and get back with you". I have tried to learn what happened to her representation and again I get no answer from them.
The last conversation on the phone with them was with somebody who I had never talked to and I wrote down his name when I asked him who he was. I had asked him if he feels this is malpractice.
I looked him up and discovered he is on that board you report bad attorneys to.

Oh yeah, and you're suing 911 dispatch, too, right? Almost forgot. That's a lot of suing you have to do.
I do not have a means to learn how things are dealt with in 911 cases such as this at this point and that is why I have came here with these questions.

When did the judge say you had to be out? Do you understand why you might be painting yourself into a corner?
As I stated, I was forced to "agree" to be out by september 1st.. Though now it seems that the landlord is feeling this is not right and says he will even remove what he initiated and payed for.

As I stated, I have till September first.
Painting? I am not sure I am understanding this phrase and/or how it may apply to my situation.

The rent escrow thing which was confusing and seemed unjust - I now understand after finding a Fritz case with 7 tennants who were witholding their rent in the 70's and the authorities had to impliment the provision for tenants to have some "equal" rights also. I admit I was wrong when I refused to put my money in escrow with the guy that pulled a knife on me.. Even after he refused my payment by check.
Please do not turn against me (I get this feeling from the 'tone' of your reply) I have studied the laws and followed them.
In all actuality, when I learn on the 25th of july that I have till september 1st to find a place, it almost means that I have to find a place by August 1st, when most places starte a rental period and I would have somewhere to move my stuff into. Some provision must be entered into law to fix this situation. That attorney who was supposed to be helping me should had asked for a few weeks into September and I had asked her why she did not work that into our deal, I had said to her that she must be familiar with these situations and should had. I got no reply on that subject. When she had turned 180 on me I was foggy, lost, confused and totally unprepaired for this change. Remember, she said we were going to get this thrown out of court. I now wish I told her to go away and went before the judge myself.
Another thing, during the week leading up to the court case I was getting no communication from their agency, other than transfered calls to voice mails. Anybody outside of them where I would try to get advice had shut me off when they learned I am already "being" represented.. Even an attorney I may had hired said he would need to see a document stating they were out of my case. And I got no answer from this legal aid agency on "if you are not responding to me then I need to fire you and described what I just typed, I said "then now, how do I fire you if this is the new situtation" in reply I heard essentially something like "wait till she calls you back. I am transfering your call to her voicemail"

I may not know it all, I feel this is malpractice though.

I will not edit something on a forum where I am asking legal advice, therefore I will repaste what I said in the first paragraph and omit something that was confusing and out of place:
