Response from Governor's Office

I received an email from the Governor's office on Monday, Sept. 27, 2020, responding to the link that I sent them to my "Open Letter to Charlie Crist." I pasted in the text below:

Dear Mr. Keegan,

Thank you for contacting Governor Charlie Crist. The Governor appreciates your concerns and asked me to respond on his behalf.

The Florida Constitution limits the Governor's intervention in matters that should be resolved through the court system. The person who can best assist you with your legal concerns is an attorney. The Florida Bar offers a Lawyer Referral Service which you may contact by calling toll-free at (800) 342-8011, or by writing to 651 East Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300.

For those unable to afford a lawyer, Florida Legal Services or the county legal aid association has information about the availability of pro bono counsel. The main telephone number of Florida Legal Services is (850) 385-7900. You can access this information by visiting the Florida Bar's website at www.floridabar.org.

Thank you again for contacting the Governor's office.

Sincerely,

Dustin Fusillo
Office of Citizen Services
