Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I need an attorney that has Pro bonus available in San Diego

How do I find an attorney that could help me? I don't have any money or source of income.

I heard something about Pro Bonus. I am very naive about any kind of law. I was victum of fraud, but I think I am accused of being the criminal. I don't know the first thing of what to do if I get arrested.

Can you tell me how to find an attorney asap.

Thank you very much.

Re: I need an attorney that has Pro bonus available in San Diego

Thank you for your inquiry. I believe what you are asking for is a "pro bono" attorney. Many of us take cases for low fees, sometimes no fees, to help out "in the public good", which is what "pro bono" is latin for.

With criminal cases, if you can't afford an attorney, you can get the services of a public defender, which is normally no, or low cost, to you.

Since it sounds as though you have not been arrested yet, this might be premature. You should keep in mind if arrested that you will want to have family available that can contact a bail bonds agency, and especially an attorney, to handle the case immediately. You should not talk or make any statements, admissions, confessions, etc., to the police. They are not your friends if you are being arrested.

I hope this helped - and I'd be happy to get more details about your case and see if I can help you at no or low cost. Please feel free to email me at [email protected], or call my office toll free at 1-877-568-2977.
