A: Most lawyers, much like other professionals do not work for free. If you desire to retain the services of a free or no cost lawyer, I suggest you call Legal Aid in the community in which you reside. Good luck.

A: If you are low income, then Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach may be able to assist. Otherwise, the local bar association in Palm Beach may be able to refer you to a reduced rate attorney.

Good luck.
