Q: I was entrapped by an alleged Lyft driver on 02/13/2024. She assaulted me and I got terrified and traumatized.
I need a pro bono criminal defense attorney. Will file in federal court. Someone please help me? I'm a disabled senior.
A:
I'm truly sorry you've gone through this experience. Reaching out for help is a strong first step.
You can contact local legal aid organizations that offer free services to seniors and disabled individuals. Organizations like Legal Aid Society or your state's Bar Association may have pro bono attorneys available. Additionally, disability advocacy groups often have resources or can direct you to appropriate legal support.
Consider visiting law school clinics in your area, as they provide free legal assistance under the supervision of experienced attorneys. You might also reach out to national resources such as the Legal Services Corporation for guidance. Don't hesitate to seek support from friends or family who can help you navigate these resources.
