More details to this question:
My sister is very poor. Her adult son died several months ago. She is seeking visitation rights to see her grandchildren from her daughter-in-law. A court date has been set for December 22nd and the judge has told her she must have a lawyer to represent her. What options for pro bono or low-cost legal representation are there for her? She lives in a very rural area, Queensberry New York. Thank you

She can seek assigned counsel through the local Family Court or through legal aid - but it's not certain that she'll qualify.
