Pro bono lawyers Missouri especialize in providing legal services to persons and families of limited means and to charities and other non-profit organizations, which work on their behalf.
Clients who seek the help and assistance of legal aid services are people seeking protection from an abusive domestic situation, drafting of simple wills, power of attorney, health care programs, consumer complaints, family matters, bankruptcy, etc.
Most legal aid clinics do not make appointments. Services are rendered on a “first come first serve basis.” Pro bono attorneys are not able to assist with criminal charges. If you have a criminal case and can not afford a lawyer, contact the Public Defenders office in your area.
The slow economy has contributed for a decreased in the number of pro bono services offered by the legal community. But a good number of non-profit organizations and attorneys willing to provide such services still can be found in most counties. The ABA recommends that lawyers give FIFTY hours of pro bono assistance a year.
The legal aid program needs improvements in order to assure every one can have access to to the justice system. You can collaborate by making a donation or lobbying your state representatives for a funding increase to the programs.
