Yikes... what a way to find a lawyer!  If you go about hiring a lawyer the same way you buy a used car, all you are going to find are the kind who behave like used car salespersons.\n\nFirst of all, your boyfriend is entitled to a public defender, in each state where he will stand trial.  They are the greatest, most overworked and unappreciated attorneys in the country.  Don't dismiss them so quickly.  \n\nBut if you want to hire private counsel, at least do it responsibly.  Contact the bar association in the city where he will be tried and ask for a referral.  One counsel may be more convenient for you, but its not necessarily the best thing for your boyfriend.  Unless these are federal offenses (and they don't sound like it), he is probably better off with a local criminal attorney in each state, because the law and the court system is different in each, and local connections DO make a difference.

I was a stay at home mom.  I just went through a divorce and had no money when it first started.  They have Lawyers that will go by your income.  Even if you have no income they are out there.  They are called Probono lawyers.  I don't know if that is how you spell it.  Call any lawyer and tell them you have no money can they direct you to a probono lawyer.

If you can not afford or obtain aid for a legal representative, consult your local librarian for references. When answering be truthful and do not leave out vitals. If really in need call on activist organizations that may offer assistance. If it is a criminal accusation or regarding divorce or child safety GET A LAWYER! SELL YOUR STUFF.

You may go to www. probono.com for initial guidance but after that you should go and personally meet the lawyer concerned for legal assistance. For torts on account of personal loss or injury, you can contact a civil lawyer who deals with accident claims and medical negligence matters.

I am in the same position. I have talked to several attorneys in regards to this. I was advised the go to the county's bar association and let them know of the situation. they can refer you to a lawyer that is more affordable and perhaps will take payments. the only other option and the one that we have decided to go with for the time being is the public defender. there are a lot of good ones out there. good luck!

Most cities have some sort of legal aid kind of place for poor people.  Contact a social welfare office and see if you can get a referral.  Good luck!

Most lawyers will give you a free consultation just to learn if they can help you. Once they have the facts they can quote you a price and you can go from there.\n\nSorry to hear of your sad situation, hope things work out for you...
