How to Find a Pro Bono Divorce Lawyer

Many attorneys each year provide legal services pro bono, or free of charge. They frequently take pro bono cases to help low-income clients, promote a good cause, or gain experience in a certain area of law. The American Bar Association and some state bar associations recommend that lawyers perform a certain number of pro bono hours per year. Not many attorneys advertise their pro bono services, however, so finding a pro bono divorce lawyer can take a little legwork.

Instructions

1

Contact your state bar association to find pro bono attorneys.

2

Check the Web for online directories and clearinghouses with information on pro bono lawyers (see "Resources" below).

3

Ask friends, family and associates for recommended local divorce attorneys or family law lawyers. Contact these firms directly and ask if they're taking pro bono cases.

4

Research other area organizations that provide legal assistance. Your state or county may have a Legal Aid Society, pro bono panel group, domestic violence project, family law clinic, or child services agency to help you in your divorce case.

5

Check with the firm or organization to see if you must meet certain criteria to qualify for free or reduced-fee legal services.

6

If you can, consult with several pro bono lawyers or organizations before selecting one.

7

Before and after choosing a lawyer, inform yourself about divorce laws and issues in your state so that you can ask educated questions and get the best possible representation throughout the process.
