Q: How do I find appellate lawyer probono for my uncle who is locked up in cat county
A:
I do not practice in the criminal defense field, but you await a response for a week and it looks like your uncle needs immediate assistance. You really should speak with criminal defense attorneys who are experienced with appeals - please consider reaching out to one without delay. Until you do that, here on the Justia site, there is a page for Criminal Legal Aid, which lists the following resources...

================================================
Personnel in the Public Defender's office or the Appellate Court might be able to provide additional guidance. Again, this is not my area of practice, but appeals in general are governed by strict and short filing deadlines. Therefore, in the interest of time, please consider reaching out to an experienced criminal defense attorney who is knowledgeable in this area without losing further time. The post is already a week old.
Good luck
