A: I'm sorry you're facing this challenging situation. To find a pro bono lawyer for your case in Dutchess County, start by reaching out to the New York State Bar Association. They can connect you with attorneys who offer free legal services for cases like yours.

You can also contact local legal aid organizations such as Legal Aid Society of the Hudson Valley. They often assist individuals dealing with issues against government entities. Additionally, consider visiting law school clinics in nearby areas, as many law students provide free assistance under supervision.

Document all your interactions and gather any evidence related to your son's death and the jail's refusal to provide records. This will help any attorney understand and support your case effectively. Stay persistent, and don't hesitate to seek support from community groups who may offer further guidance.
