Legal Question in Civil Litigation in District of Columbia
I was carjacked in washington dc. They caught the perpatrators that did it , however they are juveniles. My vehicles was totaled and my contents I had in my vehicle, laptop, ipod etc. were never recovered. I want to sue the parents to get reimbursed for my vehicle and property. How can I do this if I cannot get a lawyer due to financial contraints?..

Even if you could secure a lawyer to represent you in this matter, it would appear on these facts that the parents of these miscreants would not have liability for the so-called willful torts(civil wrongs) of their children, and, consequently, that whatever case that had been filed in your behalf against these parents would likely end with a dismissal.
There's a " Catch 22" here in that even if you spent money on an attorney of recover a sum of money the amount recovered, if any, would be less than the legal fees involved. That being the case, it's difficult to ascertain an attorney who would take this kind of case.
