How does a felon locate a pro-bono attorney?

Asked over 2 years ago - San Diego, CA

I served several years in prison and charged with a felony for missing a 1 court date (which I was not notified about) while on probation. I am required to get a job and attend a class. I have a job that I get paid under the table, and I understand that I might end up going back to prison If I don't get an "official" job. I'm desperate.

What do you want the pro bono attorney to do? Your complaint seems to be that you might not be able to work under the table anymore which is an illegal activity anyway. I can't imagine a lawyer helping you with that. As for pro bono must of us wrok to live so we have to be paid. I don't know any criminal pro bono attorneys.

Sounds like a parole issue. Having an attorney argue with your parole officer on this issue surely will not be productive for you. Any attorney will likely just tell you to comply with the terms of your parole.
