I don't understand why he's taking this on himself to be honest. If I was incorrectly named in some sort of lawsuit, my first reaction would be to call my lawyer. Who knows if there's also an incorrect arrest warrant out for example?

He hasn't been incorrectly named in a lawsuit. His Bank of America account was mistakenly debited as a result of a legal order against some other, unrelated person with a similar name.

Most people don't have lawyers to call. The last 1/3 of his story was about him calling lawyers trying to find one who would talk to him. If someone told me to call my lawyer I wouldn't know what to do. I don't have a lawyer. I don't know people who "have lawyers" or can recommend one. I met a lawyer once, I think, when I bought my previous house. I'd probably search online for "Lawyers in San Francisco" and pick one at random.

  In the article, the amount taken was $3,400. A lawyer to fight this costs a lot more than that. Also, there's another issue. What if that was his entire savings? Now he has $0 for a lawyer.

    So hire a heavy hitter on contingency. IANAL. Sue the bank for the $3400 plus legal costs, fees associated with the loss of fluid assets, punitive charges, and mental anguish. This is a tens of thousands of dollars ask. Sue the LASD and the LA county court for violations of the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendments. There was no due process against OP. OP's property was seized without warrant, trial, or even suspicion against OP. The OP had no access to trial or to legal representation but was separated from belongings. This is a multiple hundreds of thousands ask. Someone will surely notice the wrong of $3400 plus legal costs and some interest and fees and settle before the tens and hundreds of thousands get in front of a judge.
