Best Answer

A private lawyer might occasionally take a case for free (pro bono) if he or she is interested in the case, but this does not happen often and those lawyers don't advertise the fact that they might do it. It's easier to find free legal assistance through an agency that exists to provide that service.

Where you look depends on what type of case you have. If it's a criminal case, you may be represented by the Public Defender if you can show that you can't afford to hire a private attorney. You can talk to the local Public Defender office, but only the judge can appoint a Public Defender to represent you. The first related link below has a map you can click on to find the Public Defender office in your region, and a clickable link to the complete phone list.

If you have a civil case and can show that you can't afford to hire a lawyer, you may get help from a legal aid office. The second related link has links to legal aid providers; check the links to "Find Free and Low-Cost Legal Help", "Free and Low-Cost Legal Services and Resources", and "Free Legal Assistance").

The second related link also has a link to "Limited Scope Representation" that you might find useful, the State Public Defender Office (source of the first related link), and a link to information about public defender applications in Madison County Justice Court.
