Recently, Herman Nowlin, a United States veteran, was appointed a guardian/conservator by the Lynchburg Virginia court system. The court appointed a guardian ad litem to oversee the process. Despite his repeated requests to this person he was denied access to independent counsel, denied his right to a second independent medical evaluation and denied his right to appear in court. Also ignored were the legal documents he had previously set up to insure this did not happen. Please indicate by signing below that this is not acceptable.
