Are there any pro bono attorneys in orange county California
Asked on Mar 19th, 2013 on Family Law - California
More details to this question:
I am homeless and on social Security disability benefits with a check of 766.00 dollars monthly. My wife is well off and kicked me out of the house and I am on a regular search for a place to sleep. I desperately need a pro bono attorney. Please help me.
I am sorry to hear of your problems. Yes, there are pro-bono attorneys in Orange County who may be able to assist you. First I would suggest that you contact the Public Law Center. They are located in Santa Ana, and coordinate attorneys willing to perform pro-bono work and prospective clients who are in need. Second, you can check with the family law court - they often have clinics at the courthouse which help people to represent themselves in various family law matters. Finally, you can reach out to several family law attorneys to see if any are willing to take on your case with the understanding that they will be paid by your wife when an attorney's fee award is made. That later is a long-shot, but there are potentially some attorneys willing to do so.
