ok this is a bit to take on.  first a bond is an agreement that you made with the court to be of good behaviour.  meaning you cannot do anything that is punishable by law within your six month stint.  as for community corrections you may need to see them every week or so. this should all be written out in your bond. Did you sign your bond? you should have.  \n\nIf you are legally aidded you wil not have to pay anything unless it is so stated in your legal aid application letter.  legal aid may say you need to pay half of your fees off in installments for a certain amount of time.   if you had a duty solicitor you usually dont pay  they just bill legal aid directly.

There are a couple of options.\n\nIf there is a law school near you, see if they have a legal aid clinic.  They will often help with such cases and provide free advice and counsel.\n\nLook for Legal Aid organizations.  Lawyers get brownie points for doing pro bono work with such groups as a community service.  Most larger communities will have something along these lines.

I have done both.The second time I used a legal aid office. \n\nBankruptcy attorneys know how to quickly fill in the details and generally take about an hour of your time to fill in the blanks.\nIt took me more effort to do it myself with legal aid.  \n\nYou don't pay anything back. Chapter 7 is complete write off of all debt whether you, or an attorney, does the work. The question is, how valuable is your time and how knowledgeable are about the process.

based on what you've said, you should probably try to contact your states legal aid organization, every state has one. Explain them your situation, and there are many lawyers affiliated with that organization who have to put in a certain amount of "pro-bono" (free) work for people, so by a lawyer taking your case for free from legal aid, they're not only helping you, you're helping them. it should be no problem finding free legal help. Also you can call any atorney's and explain to them your situation, and most wioll offer free legal advice if nothing more. hope this helped ;)

If you are unable to do it yourself, you will have to hire a lawyer. The court is not there to give you legal advice.  They can give general information only, and they cannot advise you as to what you should or should not do.\n\nAre you on disability or some other source of severely limited income that would make you eligible for free legal services?    \n\nA house on Long Island is a significant asset.  You could open a line of credit and take out some cash to pay for your legal fees.

Check your yellow pages under "Lawyers" and see if there is a Legal Aid Society.  It might be named differently in your area, but it is a group of lawyers that volunteer their time to help people that qualify.

What's your question?  \n\nIn order to talk to a lawyer, a good first step is to call one and make an appointment.  If you can't afford a lawyer or can't find one willing to take your case on a contingency basis, find the Legal Aid (or equivalent) in your city.

Depends on the state.  You can do a Yahoo or Google search on 'legal aid' plus the city and state where you live.\n\nLawyers.com\nfindlaw.com

Your state should have a legal aid helpline.  Not sure where you live but do a Yahoo! search and type in your state's name and legal help and you should be able to find something there.  They might be able to give you advice for free because of your limited income.
