Q: I need probono legal assistance. I am 68 years old living in Bartow County GA. My only income is my Social Security.
Can you make any recommendations?

A: From the brief post, it isn't clear what the nature of the matter is. But you posted under "Criminal Law." If this involves a criminal matter, you could look into the Public Defenders Office, based on financial need. Good luck

A:
If you're seeking pro bono legal assistance in Bartow County, Georgia, there are several organizations that can help.

GLSP has offices throughout Georgia and may be able to assist with matters involving criminal law, banking, federal crimes, and internet law.
Another option is the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, which offers free legal assistance to seniors and those in financial need in the Atlanta area and surrounding counties. Although you are in Bartow County, they may be able to provide guidance or refer you to a local partner organization. They handle a range of legal issues and can offer advice on navigating the legal system.
Consider also contacting the State Bar of Georgia, which has a Pro Bono Resource Center. They can connect you with volunteer attorneys who may be able to help with your specific legal situation. Don’t hesitate to reach out to these organizations to see what assistance is available to you.
