How Can We Help?
"*" indicates required fields
I come before You tired but not broken. You know my story. You have seen every door that has closed, every person who turned away, every night without a home to call my own.
Lord, I was wronged. I have the proof in my hands but no one to fight for me. I followed the rules. I trusted the system. I did what I was taught was right. Yet here I stand, still waiting for justice.
It started last May when Yanika Portillo had my car towed on the same day rent was due. I had to choose between getting my car out of impound or paying rent. I chose my car because I needed it to get to work and to get food. This was not random. It was premeditated. Other cars sat in that parking lot without license plates collecting dust but she targeted mine. The car I drove every single day.
When I went to the office to talk about this selectively enforced policy she turned it against me. She lied to the police. She told them she never drove her GMC Terrain to work. I paid for the police report and read those words myself. Then I took a photo of that same car parked right in front of the leasing office with the building number 8727 clearly visible. I have proof she lied. I thought lying to police to evict someone was illegal but it did not matter. That lie turned into an eviction I could not defend against. The system is not built to protect people like me.
I have over 70 documents that prove my case. Everywhere I go I am told I need an attorney. I tried. I retained Yash from Cronus Law and paid $1500 at a time when I could not afford to waste money. I thought if I planted the seed of justice it would grow if I watered it with determination, truth, and integrity. But my seed was stolen.
Father, I lift up Yanika Portillo to You. I do not pray for her destruction. I pray for her redemption. Bring her out of the darkness. Convict her heart. And end her power to do this to anyone else.
I also pray for the attorneys and the judges who looked the other way. Open their eyes Lord. Remind them of the oaths they took. Let justice not be something only the wealthy and connected can afford.
You know I have never been given an easy path. As a child I was ripped from my home because of false allegations against my parents. I went through over 24 homes in 12 months. Now I am 30 years old. A year ago I was stable, making $41 an hour, living okay. But just like my childhood, all it took was one fabricated lie to make me blacklisted, homeless, and unstable all over again.
If I was anyone other than Seth Printz maybe my outcome would be different. But my fate feels decided. After May 2026 my time to seek justice will have passed. I am not the only one going through this but I am the only one with proof. And it seems like it does not matter.
Lord, this was an execution of my life. I will never be able to buy a home. I will never be able to buy a car. I will never be normal again.
Please send me someone who will listen. Someone who will look at the proof and help me fight for what is right.
You promise in Your Word that You are a defender of the fatherless and the forgotten. I have no one but You. Be my advocate Lord. Send me an attorney with courage. Send me favor in places where I have only found rejection.
I believe You are still working even when I cannot see it. Give me strength to keep going.
Thank You for never leaving me. I trust Your timing even when it hurts.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Everyone at this firm is great.
