more info needed.

i initially thoughts this was a criminal matter.

now it looks civil and you do not have a right for the court to appoint a lawyer to assist you.

if you can't find a lawyer who believes in it and is willing to represent you on a contingency, that may suggest there are issues with your case. They could be proving causation or liability and proving damages.

Remember you are asking a lawyer to gamble with you with his time and money. To get a copy of your depo will cost the lawyer several hundreds of dollars, depending on length. A lawyer will not want to game his/her money if s/he thinks it is not a slam drunk case.

Is sounds like you have a court case already filed as you referenced having Depositions scheduled. There are fundamentally two issues right now:

(1) is your lawsuit still active? Has it been dismissed, or is a trial still on the schedule? If so, then you need to speak with a personal injury lawyer to see if your case can be salvaged.

(2) If you received ineffective assistance, or suffered from malpractice by your prior attorneys, then you may have a malpractice claim against your former attorneys. If so, you need to find an attorney who specializes in suing other attorneys for malpractice.

If you need help in finding an attorney, I would suggest you contact your local county bar association for assistance.

Good Luck.
