    Types of Pro Bono Attorneys<\/h2>\n

    There are several types of pro bono attorneys.\u00a0Legal aid<\/a>\u00a0attorneys with a local or regional legal services office may be able to help. In general, legal aid offices will assist persons needing legal assistance based on\u00a0<\/span>federal low-income guidelines<\/a>. You will likely need to provide proof of income to qualify for this legal service.<\/p>\n

    Local\u00a0bar associations\u00a0<\/a>may have a referral service available for pro bono programs or pro bono resources. These could include pro bono volunteer lawyers or clinics which provide pro bono opportunities.\u00a0Local law schools may have clinics where law students, under the mentoring and assistance of a licensed attorney, provide legal advice on simple legal matters (family law matters like uncontested divorces or domestic violence).\u00a0Non-profit organizations assist with legal needs such as family law or immigration.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Additional Pro Bono Resources<\/h2>\n

    There are a variety of pro bono opportunities available for low-income people to access quality legal representation through pro bono legal services. It is a good idea to check with various resource centers like those listed above, or even statewide bar associations, or the\u00a0American Bar Association<\/a>\u00a0(ABA), for more information on how to obtain a pro bono provider\/attorney who can provide valuable legal help.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
