who can i call to represent me in a civil case about dog attack?

My dog was attacked on 3/8/22 @ Northeast Paw Place Dog Park, by a dog whose owner was well aware that her dog had aggressive tendencies (even if it was "only my dog"). We had an issue approx a month before where her dog was being very aggressive towards mine, in fact, went after him twice that day. She stated i was overreacting, he was just being verbal. I left. Fast forward to 3/8/22. My dog was playing with several others at the water bowl, when out of nowhere her dog jumps and pins mine an proceeds to bite and shake his head. My dog was underneath squealing with Pain!! I managed to grab her dog by the neck and fling him at her to get to my baby. My dog was shaking, had a cut on his side, top of his ear and 2 tears in his ears that went down to the cartilage requiring stitches. He had a bad reaction to the pain meds and had to go back to the vet the following day. I just want to recoup my vet bills, gas money and make sure her dog is not allowed back at any dog parks.

I have been assaulted 3 times. The assaulter arrested twice the last time was stabbed & no arrest/filing by DA. What are my rights.

I am a victim of domestic violence on 3 occassions now; between the beginning of last year until now. The defendant was arressted two prior incidents. This last time I was stabbed and the police said that she would be arrested. When I went to the police department to ask why she had not been put in jail yet; they told me that it was to late and there was nothing they could do about it. Still no arrest nor has the DA filed against her. Is this not against my rights? I mean how is it that someone can attempt to murder anybody and if they are not arrested in a number of days then they just get away with it. Is not assault and /or attempted murder against the law?
