Q: I need a free or low cost lawyer................
Who handles sueing someone that sold my mobilehome without my permission an possibly criminal charges in california. Can you please give me some info on who can help me.
A:
You should contact a legal aid clinic in or near the county where you would like to file your lawsuit. For a variety of reasons, lawyers who provide pro bono services typically volunteer a few hours of time through their local legal aid clinics. The clinic staff screen clients to insure they are truly indigent and screen cases to match them up with a lawyer who practices in the appropriate area of law and who is volunteering the number of hours needed to handle a particular matter. The clinic staff also processes the court paperwork required for the client to proceed without paying the required court filing fees upfront based on the court’s criteria.
Do not expect a lawyer to handle your case pro bono unless your annual earnings are near or below the poverty line for your area.
