Find A Probono Lawyer
Q.I have a dear friend who is in desperate help. She needs a probono lawyer to help with a divorce. She has been physically and mentally abused for 26 years and finally has the courage to end it but is on disability and does not have the money for a lawyer. She haas talked with legal aid but i am not confident that they cannot help her enough. Can anyone give me some ideas ???
A.If she hasn't done so already, she should contact her local domestic violence agency. Some have lawyers on staff and others can refer to lawyers who will provide divorces pro-bono, or at a reduced rate, a sliding scale, or with payment plans. I work as a counselor at a domestic violence agency and we have lawyers that we can call in favors with. And don't be too quick to steer her away from legal aid. In our county, our legal aid does a wonderful job with divorces for women who are being abused. They cross train with our agency so that we are trained on legal issues and they are trained on domestic violence issues. It makes them better equipped to go into court and argue for the victim.
