Location: England
As the title states, some smartass from the United States thought it would be funny to swat me. I have lost wages, had my belongings taken by the police for the investigation, and my employer won’t let me back to work until I can provide them with a letter from the police stating that the investigation is done (which I’m still waiting on). I’m not doing well financially nor mentally.
I know exactly who the individual is and where he’s from, and I have plenty of evidence (Twitter posts with links, Discord messages with timestamps, and private messages on either platform) where he blatantly admits it and even brags about it.
If I wanted to sue him for this, I would assume I need an American lawyer. Would someone take a pro-bono case if, after seeing the evidence, realised it would be open and shut? How much would I be looking at in terms of costs otherwise? Would you reccomend any specific free legal advice firm?
The last few months have been a huge hit on my mental health, and I’m willing to listen to any suggestions on how to proceed.
