A: To find a pro bono family law attorney or one who will work with you on a sliding scale in Sacramento, CA, start by contacting local legal aid organizations. Organizations such as Legal Services of Northern California (LSNC) or the Sacramento County Bar Association’s Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) can connect you with attorneys who offer free or reduced-cost services to those in need.

Another resource is the California Courts website, which provides a self-help section with information on finding low-cost legal assistance. You can also reach out to local law schools, such as UC Davis School of Law, as they often have clinics where law students, supervised by licensed attorneys, provide free legal help.

Lastly, try contacting the Family Law Facilitator's Office in Sacramento. They provide assistance with family law matters, including explaining court procedures and helping with paperwork. Taking these steps can help you find the legal support you need while managing costs effectively.
