FAQ
What are the required years to become a Lawyer?
The answer is not as simple as you might think. After high school, you will need to work hard for at minimum four years. But there are other factors.
You also have to pass exams and do well enough on them to get into law school. Then, you'll continue to study law for two more years.
After all this, you'll graduate from law school and then go back to college for an extra year to study for the bar exam. You are now a licensed attorney if you pass this exam.
What is a "pro bono" lawyer?
A pro bono lawyer provides free legal services to people who cannot afford them. These lawyers are often part-time lawyers, but they also work on their own. Pro bono work can range from helping out elderly clients with estate planning issues to representing indigent defendants.
What law firm is the best-paid?

How To
How can I get free legal help?
Because there are many lawyers who want your business, it can be very difficult to find a pro-bono lawyer. There are many options for finding a pro-bono attorney. You can ask around at your local bar association, look online for a list of attorneys who offer pro bono services, or check with your state's bar association. Another way to find a pro bono attorney is through a local law school. Many law schools offer the opportunity for students to work with clients who are low-income to ensure that they have access to justice. If none of the above options sound appealing to you, you may want to contact a nonprofit organization like Legal Services Corporation. LSC funds organizations across the country that provide free civil legal assistance to people living below the poverty line. The organization finances programs that help low income individuals with housing problems, child support enforcement matters, family law matters and consumer protection. LSC assists grantees with financial advice and guidance. Among the services that LSC offers are:
-
Financial counseling
-
Assistance with filing for bankruptcy
-
Families can help to end domestic violence
-
Representation before administrative bodies
If you're looking for a pro bono attorney, but aren't sure where to start, here are some things to keep in mind :
-
You don't have to spend your time searching for a lawyer who is experienced in your particular case. Pro bono lawyers may represent many types of clients. They will likely not have any experience dealing with your specific issue.
-
You should look for a lawyer with experience representing low-income clients. This is a sign that the lawyer has had experience working with low-income clients.
-
Ask if the lawyer has any special training in your area of concern. If you have to deal with landlord/tenant issues for instance, make sure that you ask the lawyer about their experience in these cases.
-
Find out whether the lawyer is available to take on new clients. Some lawyers are limited to certain types of cases. This means that you may not find one who is willing to take on pro bono clients.
-
Do not believe lawyers who claim to specialize within a specific area of law. Many lawyers say they practice in areas outside of their degree but don't know much about the subject matter.
-
A strong reputation is essential. Ask close friends and family for recommendations. Look online for reviews of other clients.
