What should I consider when looking for free legal help?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Legal Aid often provides free legal services to individuals involved in divorce/custody matters when that individual is the victim of domestic abuse. A law school may offer a clinic for seniors. Generally, legal advice is not free. "Pro bono" means "for good." Attorneys may choose to work for charities or moral/ethical causes that serve the greater good.
