i need a attorney if u dont win u dont pay

If your boyfriend was denied medication while in jail, and it can be proved that the medical personnel at the jail acted with "deliberate indifference" in failing to provide him with needed medication, a federal civil rights claim for his death may be possible. HOWEVER, in order to bring such a claim (which is typically handled on a "contingent fee" basis, meaning that there is no fee unless the case is won or settled), an Estate would need to be opened. You, as his girlfriend, have no legal right to open an Estate (unless he left a will and you are mentioned in it), and legally you have no right to any money from any claim (unless, again, you are named in a will).
