Q: need pro bono lawyer to help me clear a dv warrant against me & to press idv charges against my abuser, Can you help?

I was determined to be the instigator. He got superficial scratches. I flew backwards through the air and broke my foot in 6 places in an attempt not to break my neck, head or worse. The whole situation started because he was driving drunk and I tried to take the keys of our car away from him. I want to divorce him and charge him with aggravated assault but I can not start without my warrant getting cleared first.

A: To find a pro bono lawyer who can assist with your situation, you can start by contacting legal aid organizations in Arizona. These organizations often provide free legal services to those who qualify based on their income and the nature of their legal issues. They may be able to help you address the warrant and advise you on pressing charges against your abuser.

Additionally, you can reach out to domestic violence support groups and shelters in Tucson. These organizations often have connections with attorneys who specialize in domestic violence cases and may offer pro bono services or can guide you to resources that can help.

For your divorce and any subsequent legal actions against your abuser, it's important to gather all relevant evidence, such as medical records of your injuries and any documentation related to the incident. This evidence will be crucial in both your defense against the warrant and any legal action you take against your abuser.

Remember, addressing a warrant is a serious matter, and it's essential to have legal representation to guide you through the process. It's also important to ensure your safety, so consider reaching out to domestic violence resources for support during this challenging time.

Taking the first step to seek legal and emotional support is critical. You are not alone, and there are resources available to help you through this process.
