Consumers' Guide to Legal Help\nFree Legal Help \nAlabama \n\nThere are many legal aid and pro bono programs in communities that provide legal help for the poor. People with income below the federal poverty guidelines are generally eligible for free legal help through these programs. People who are elderly, disabled, the victims of domestic violence, enlisted in the military or in other special circumstances also may be eligible for help even if their income is a little higher.\n\nLegal Services\nFederally funded legal services offices provide lawyers who are experts in helping poor people with legal problems. (learn more...)\n\nPro Bono\nPro Bono programs match low-income clients with volunteer lawyers, who agree to take their cases for free.

Some of these offices provide free services, and others may charge a fee.

They will usually turn you down the 1st time.\n\nTime to get a lawyer.  I am sure there is one in your town that has a free consultation and you won't have to pay until you get your 1st check.  Most firms take on a certain number of pro bono cases per year also.  Doesn't hurt to ask.  Get the phone book and be persistant.  They are hoping that you give up. \n\nGood luck, keep trucking!

You probably are aware of the point system they have for evaluating potential immigrants (you have to reach a certain minimum point level and you are given points for your education, languages you speak etc). But I would suggest making a quick search on the Internet to find out what immigration lawyers are out there in Canada, pay a few dollars and have a telephone appointment to consult your case (some would even give free consultations if you would hire them for your case after the consultation)

I doubt you will find a pro bono attorney for a probate matter, although you can start by calling your local legal aid society.\n\nProbate attorneys are typically paid out of the assets of the estate at or near the end of the case, so you shouldn't have to worry about paying them out of pocket as the case moves along.  Probate fees are usually set by state law rather than on an hourly basis, meaning you should be able to know up front whta the finally total will be for attorney fees.

This is a link for some immigration lawyers in the Vancouver, BC, area.  I couldn't tell you a good one from a bad one but the link gives some guidelines on how to pick a lawyer and also gives the names of some.\n\nhttp://www.canadalegal.info/prov-bc/lawyers-vancouver/vancouver-immigration.html\n\nThat said, I don't know if you would be wiser to pick a lawyer located in Canada or one who specializes in immigration to Canada but is situated in the country you are coming from.\n\nBena

I don't think there is any such thing as a pro bono list, those attorneys would never get paid!\n\nCall the Florida Bar and see if there is such a thing as Legal Aid (sponsored by the state bar) in your area.  If you qualify (income vs. expenses), you get free legal advice from an attorney.  That attorney may, in turn, take your case pro bono or know someone who will represent you for nothing, espcially if it is a cause wherein your attorney might be able to hold the other party liable for payment, or be awarded payment by the Court from the other party.

You don't need an attorney.\n\nJust contact the Department of Immigration in Canada and ask for the permission papers.\n\nIf you have gramatical errors or mispelled words, it will not lessen your chances of being accepted to Canada.\n\nThey will only want to know why you want to become a citizen.\n\nThat's all.  Just official stuff and they don't care about your grammar.\n\nGood Luck!  Canada is a beautiful country!

I suggest you find a local (Montreal) agent that deals with international clients.  Call around and find one that works with "business" people that live and work in different cities.  It is very common in most large cities for people to do this.  I wouldn't use an agent from New England unless they live part-time in Montreal.
