Most legal aid offices and some bar associations have started special pro bono panels (pro bono refers to legal for free help that private attorneys provide as a public service). In addition, some private
attorneys are willing to reduce their fees if a client’s income is low. The panels discussed in this section are the listings of the private attorneys willing to offer some free or reduced-fee legal services.
The panels don’t employ the attorneys but simply work to connect the attorneys willing to offer services with the clients who need them. Cost: Reduced-fee panels provide legal help at a cost less than the fee that the private attorney “usually” charges for a case of the same type. The exact fee varies based on locale and the individual attorney’s fee schedule. Lawyers who agree to handle a case for free will not charge for their services although there may be court costs and other costs associated with the case.
Eligibility & Access to Service: Many local bar associations have lists
of free legal help providers who volunteer for either reduced-fee panels or for pro bono cases. Some have special panels for elderlaw cases. In many instances,
the local legal services programs (LSC and OAA) are part of this
network. The legal services programs identify cases of persons who
exceed financial guidelines or whose cases they are otherwise unable to
handle. The cases are then referred to pro bono or reduced-fee panels.
Since the OAA and LSC legal services programs often must first screen
the cases for the pro bono or reduced- fee attorney panels, contact with
the legal aid agency is often a good way to identify a free legal program in your
area.
Locating Local Sources: Local legal aid offices and bar associations, attorneys and lawyers
are usually listed in the yellow (under “Lawyers”) or white pages of the
telephone book. If you have any questions you can leave them in legal for free comments section of our website.

I bought a double wide mobile home Feb. 2011. The flyer had in bold letters Heat Pump. Went with the realitor and was told I would save half on my electric bill with the heat pump. The heater wasn’t working well when I moved in called a heating company to look at it, they said I have no heat pump. On my ownership papers it says Heat Pump, the owners prior to me on their papers it says forced air electric. Called the people that sold us the house, and told me it was my problem. I feel I have a case of fraudulent advertising and document recording.

My question is in regards to IRS Statute 6511, refund limitations. I filed 2006 tax returns in April 2007. In March 2008 I received a letter of income adjustment from the IRS indicating I owed additional tax in the amount of $9640 and interest charges of $723. I paid this (10,363 in March 2008.) Then on Dec 29th 2008 I received notification that the account was adjusted and I still owed $7.81. I then paid the $7.81 in Dec 2008. I was finally able to obtain all of my 06 tax records and filed an amended return in 10/2010. As I still had an outstanding balance of $7.81 that wasn’t paid until 12/08 aren’t I within the statute limitation that I must file for a refund within 2 years from the date the tax was paid?

i am needing to get a divorce from someone that is in jail and i was told since he was in jail i could run an ad in the paper and it wouldn’t cost me anything, i dont have money for one and i need it really bad hes a dope dealer when he is out and i just dont know what to do.
How do I go about filing my taxes for the last 7 years. I know it has to be done!! I don’t make much over the poverty line and i”m sure i don’t owe any back taxes but I’m afraid I can get into trouble?
The attorney I had for PI from a car accident died, so, his partner took over. Basically, all this new attorney had to do was send a demand on my behalf, but, he did so without even consulting any figures with me. And, I found out he also sent a reduced amount demand which I had no clue of. Is this normal?
If i have an attorney and i paid him 750 dollars to do a misdemeanor writ, but we then decided that we were going to go to trial because i have proof that Im not guilty. this attorney tells me nearly a year later that it will cost me several more thousand dollars to go to trial… i decided to find another attorney because it would be cheaper for me…. can i get my refund? we never went to court at all or anything like that…. the misdeamenor writ was never done either, all he did was postpone the court date because other things got in the way!!
thanks,
Ashley
I’m doing a rent to own on the house I am living in. I have been in it 3 years now and before I moved in I put a $5000 downpayment on it and have since put in some costly improvements and I have never been late or short on my house payments. My question is this I know that the owner did not make his mortgage payment on this house this month and I am afraid of loosing what I have in it if it gets forclosed upon what can I do to get my money back?
Also another thing is the owner bought an SUV from me on payments and they blew the engine up in it and have refused to make anymore payments on it or to give the SUV back to me as requested *they junked it*, so I took out the 2 months owed to me off my house note and this is how I know the mortgage payment was not made.
Please help me I’m a single parent of 2 and on disability.
Thank You
Good Afternoon, I am going to be opening a report against my ex boyfriend this upcoming week in regards of him stalking me and rapeing me when I was 13 and he was 24 years. We both reside in California. My main question is that I have made false email complaints against him and his wife to their employeers that one incident caused me to be terminated from my current emplyeer. In addition, I have contacted her via phone and send flowers to her house pretending they were being sent from someone else. Could I be charged for doing so? I did all of this cause he has contacted my husband and he raped me. Please answer my questions and thank you for your help.
I have been married for 15 years, I want to leave my verbally abusive husband…the problem is he has a son 16 that I have been raising since he was 4, he’s not my biological son and I never adopted him, would I be able to take the 16 year old with me, I do not want to leave him behind with his father, I love him as my own.
Thank-you

A month ago, I went to an emergency room with what turned out to be a heart attack, requiring a double bypass. Keeping in mind that I was barely able to breathe, the first hospital I went to took my blood pressure, and my temp, then placed me in a wheel chair and rolled me into the waiting area and said that they would see me when they had a chance. I ended up having to leave there and have an ambulance meet me on the way to another hospital, who certainly saved my life.
What I want to know is do I have any legal recourse against the initial hospital for endangering my life by not treating me as the emergency my condition obviously was?
Thank you.

I live in Wyoming and I am having a problem with my probation officer and some things she is doing that I do not think are legal. She is telling me that my boyfriend of 7 years is no longer an approved visitor, but at the same time she is telling me that I have to move out of my house and break my lease. We have been together for 7 years and we want to go get married. Can she send me to prison for marrying him and is it legal for her to make me break my lease. There are some other aspects to it but it is a little confusing. Also I have been doing exactly what I am supposed to. I work, I go to school, I go to groups, I go to AA and much more. Also she is trying to force him to go to counseling when he is not on any kind of paper whatsoever. I am on probation for a felony for stabbing my brother. My boyfriend has a past felony from 14 years ago for robbery. I am on intensive supervised probation. My mom is also on the lease and she wants me to move because she does not want me around my man of 7 years. Can you please advise to my rights in this situation.

My boyfriend and I have lived together in a mobile home park for 9 years. The owner put a no trespass order on him saying that he heard from someone that he was selling drugs out of hear, he wasnt and the owner has no solid proof of that. I talked to the owner myself when I found out that the park was going to be sold and wanted the order to be lifted before the park sold he told me that the new owners and manager already had the paperwork and that he would talk to the new manager about lifting it and encourage her to do so. When I talked to her, the old owner went back on his word and was telling her anything he could to discourage her from lifting it. So now she told me that she agreed that it was personal between them so she was willing to give it a shot, but that he would have to fill out an application and if he had no background and got approved then he could come back. I asked her if he got denied to move back here, if she could at least have the no trespass order lifted so he could visit as a guest and she said if he got denied then he would never be allowed back in here again. My boyfriend is on the verge of being homeless, I now have to apply for assistance without his help financially, and my 11 year old daughter is devastated. I dont know what to do, my boyfriend and friends say I should hire a Lawyer and fight this, I dont know if I even have a case. Need help thanks

LLC not ….. PC. I’m at this point getting upset & tell her please get a manager this is ridiculous 45 minutes now to cash a check, the manage comes & explains to her ….. have to be entered into the system & verified by …. I explain it. Memorial Day weekend everyone is gone I’ll go to bank of American where the check is drawn from this is RIDICULOUS, Mary the customer service Rep gets very mouthy & nasty with me, I’m truly losing patients at this point and FINALLY AFTER AN HOURS OF HER AWFUL EFFORTS process the check *TWICE* I Told her from the beginning I need a prepaid visa card (to start paying off my debts) after she processed the check she asks if I’d like the prepaid visa still, frustrated I yell no just give me my money already this is completely ridiculous that it took & hour to cash a check, she counts the $ HAS THE PERSON NEXT TO HER COUNT IT & gives it to me.

My boyfriend has been in jail for 11 days so far for domestic assault 3rd degree 1st/2nd offense class A misdemeanor. We have a 2 month old son. My mom is racist and my boyfriend is mixed. My mom told me to stay up with the baby and to not sleep just watch my boyfriend and never leave him alone with our baby or she would file me as unfit. I didn’t want to lose the baby so i did what she said. After 4 days I was so out of it I got mad cause my boyfriend hadn’t noticed how tired i was and i was mad at my mom for making me do this. After a brief yelling i called my mom and she heard my boyfriend in the background talking to me and heard the baby cry. She came over and hit my boyfriend and started calling him a child molester and that cause of his color he was expected to hit on me and more. I was with the baby when they fought. My mom dragged me out of the house and i was almost asleep in the car when cops came by and my mom started talking to them about him beating me and there were no marks or anything cause there was no hitting but they took my boyfriend to jail anyway. I wrote down what my mom told me to on a statement but i didn’t remember what i put at all. I have done everything i could so far. Dropped the charges, called the PA, wrote a letter to the judge. Now i’ve left a messege with his Public defender about if he needed any info from me that could help his case that he should call me. I don’t know what else i can possibly do to help that boy in his case. Can you tell me if there’s anything else i can do for him.

I am curently 17 years old and I was with a friend at Wal-Mart in the state of Kentucky who is 18 and was caught shoplifting. I personally didn’t take anything or put anything in her bag. Since, I was with her and knew what is right from wrong, I know that I have my own mind and could of had walked away. I am currently pregnant and very concerned about the consequences that I may have to face since my friend wouldn’t tell the police that none of the items were intended to be in my possesion or that i did not place any of the items in her bag. I am also worried because I turn 18 in 19 days, that if they can press me as an adult.

One June 20th 2010, M David was scheduled to have a total medical checkup done. She was diagnosed with cancer by Dr. R Singh on June 4th 2010. However, the total cost to do her medical checkup was $1, 520,000. Her cousin S Mars had really loved M David’s 2010 model Allion. So since M David not having the required funds available to address her medical issue, thought it best to officer to sell her vehicle to S Mars for $1.6M with the officer left open until June 15th, 2010 by 11am. M David’s neighbor, Mr. Berry, made an irresistible offer of $1.7M. She horridly accepted Mr. Berry’s offer on the 13th of June the said year. What advise do S. Mars get as to the way forward?
I have been separated from my husband for 1 year. Initially, he was very helpful with financial support to our two children and also myself. As the months went by, he paid less and less, and now, I’m lucky if I can get him to help at all. I work full time, and over time when and if I can, but I have two small children that need me desperately. This month, I was at the point of facing eviction because I simply can not afford everything on my salary alone. My husband is the one who decided to leave the family, but he will not file for divorce. I have tried many many times to get all the paperwork for divorce and child support completed, but I am so busy trying to work and take care of my children, that I get overwhelmed trying to file. There are so many issues in this divorce, for example; He is not a U.S. Citizen, he is/was renting our home out and collecting monies from it without telling me….while it was undergoing foreclosure, he has money invested in places all over, his family is very well off and live in South America and help him disguise his total income….the list goes on. I am not interested in getting anything other than what the court says he owes in child support…..and then just move on. I don’t know where to start though, or how to file all these child support and divorce papers because I have no idea what salary he really makes in a month. I have to file this myself because I have absolutely no money to pay any kind of attorney. Can someone give me direction on how I should prioritize all this? What is important to worry about and what isn’t? As I said, I just want the required child support and that is it. I have NO desire to waste time and energy on him or his magnificent wealth and money…..give me a break already.

(they can visit my son but they cannot take him home)
I need assistance with a situation, I reside in CA, in april my mother filed for a restraining order which was granted for 5 years, I had shown I was not guilty but the judges comment was she didn’t have to have probable cause to issue the order she just agreed we needed to stay away from eachother. I was going to college to become a peace officer and this stops that because I can’t carry or possess a fire arm. It has ruined my life, I have talked to attorneys around here and they all tell me to bad now im told its to late to appeal, so I want to know how and why my constitutional rights and civil rights can be violated with out probable cause or facts just because the judge feels like it? What do I do now?
I was away for two months and my apartment management office contacted me to let me know that a lot of my mail was misdelivered to another resident. They assured me they would hold it until I returned. When I returned, however, I learned all that mail was tossed in the trash by a maintenance person. I was told, via a message, that the other resident brought my mail to them in a trash bag. They never removed it from that trash bag, nor even bothered to label it, but kept it in the hallway with some boxes. Important and time-sensitive mail will not be received, and that scares me. Their negligence also has exposed not only me, but also my elderly mother to identity theft because as her caregiver her mail comes to my address. The mounting stress is exacerbating debilitating conditions with which I already present. I need to know if there is any legal remedy against them, as well as the Post Office.

I went to Disneyland on June 28 at 8:30 in the morning, I locked the door and turn off the lights, and I was back to hotel about 7:40pm. when I came back, the door was open, my three luggage was missing. I called the police right away. The insurance company said they asked the housekeeper, she did not take anything from my room. again, no matter what my luggage was missing inside of my room. They just told us to wait for insurance company to solve it because the worker said they can not do anything for that. I wait for almost two month, the insurance company said they will not pay anything.can I sue the company?thank you

My lease expired 3/31/11 but my landlord let us stay. In June I sent a vacate premises letter to move out in July, but July came and we let the landlord know that we were staying and she accepted the rent for July but told us we had to be out 8/1/11. We surrendered the premises 8/1/11 and did a non formal walk through. I tried contacting the landlord several times no response until 10/11/11 and she stated she is sending a status of deposit letter. 10/16/11 I received the letter and she is now stating that we are not getting our deposit back because we violated the lease for having a pet and the damages she has implied is not agreeable by us. She finally text me and said she is not responding to us regarding this matter any more. Please Help.

They put my wife and a shelter and then my wife called me and said to get her out so i did,we went to court and the charges were dropped, we filed a complaint and the therapist was found guilty and fined by the licensed board. There is more to the story but this is it in a nut shell, we want to know if we have a case against her and maybe the place of work.

I was falsely accused in public of shoplifting at a Dollar Tree Store. I was not detained by the manager or arrested. I was just exiting the store with another customer when the manager opened the door and yelled out “people shouldn’t come back here if you were there to shoplift”. When I turned back towards the store I saw that it was me that he was staring at. Surprised, I asked if the manager was speaking to me. He then asked with a smile “why, do you have a guilty conscience?” I immediately stated that I did not take anything and did not even have a purse to put what he thought I took into. He proceeded to accused me of stealing the merchandise by hiding it under my shirt. So I walked past him and back into the store where I took my coat off and pulled my shirt up to just under my bra to show him there wasn’t anything there. I also want to add that I wearing cotton pants and it clearly would have shown an outline if anything was in them. While I was doing this and trying to talk to him about how he was mistaken, he kept accusing me of being a thief. It was humiliating and scary because he was being unreasonable, shouting accusations at me and extremely angry. He said in front of other customers that he was in the office and saw me putting something up my shirt on the stores surveillance monitor but refused to show me the video. I then went outside, called 911 and when the police arrived reported what had happened. I didn’t steal anything and know that the video will prove it. What do I do from here and what are my legal rights?
