More details to this question:
I was served with a summons for breach of contract, common causes, and fraud. I need to know what kind of attorney to hire. I have been looking for someone pro bono as I am very low income but cannot find anyone due to COVID 19. Thank you

You need a civil attorney. Most attorneys cannot afford to work pro bono; they have a staff, office rent, etc. to pay. I'm sorry but I don't know any pro bono attorney either. I'm presuming that you checked with Public Counsel and other low-income services. You might go to the court and request self-help--sometimes attorneys volunteer there.
