What motivates lawyers to do pro bono work and should it become mandatory?
Q. What do you think motivates lawyers to do pro bono work? Should pro bono work be mandatory for law students and/or lawyers?
Asked by flamefaery - Wed May 21 03:50:09 2008 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Many lawyers have a keen sense of social justice. This leads them to want to give back to the most vulnerable members of society who cannot defend themselves without help. Some of the greatest professional satisfaction comes from helping someone who would have been taken advantage of without assistance. Many large firms now use a commitment to pro bono work as a recruiting point for getting the most talented young attorneys coming out of law school. There is already a goal for every California attorney to do 40 hours of pro bono work per year. Many attorneys take that goal very seriously and meet or surpass it.

What is the reputation of pro bono attorneys?
Q. I'm looking into getting a pro bono attorney for my custody battle. My father said that 9 times out of 10 pro bono attorney's lose. Is this true?

A. Dear betterbe, Your father is a narrow minded idiot. Attorneys providing pro bono services are often among the highest paid and super competent lawyers. They have huge ego's and take the pro bono responsibility as highly serious and intensely as their cases for well heeled clients. That clarified, you are highly unlikely to find pro bono attorneys to directly represent you in your child custody/support matter.

How can I find a pro bono attorney for my child?

A. You'll have a hard time with this. Retraining orders are not high on lawyers things to do pro bono because as you stated you don't really need a lawyer to get one and so most lawyers will see it as a waste of their time. You might be able to get a lawyer to help you who has some time to kill and is already at the courthouse. The good thing though is that restraining orders are almost always granted. The only issue I can see here is because the children go to the same school. With situations like where the restraining order might require that the other girl change schools the bar is going to be set a lot higher than normal for a restraining order.

How do I find a pro-bono lawyer (not legal aid) to help with a custody battle?

A. Normally legal aid is the agency that will handle pro-bono type cases. It differs from state to state though. Other than a legal aid office, probably the best source for possible pro-bono would your state's bar association. Most state's bar association has a pro-bono division (or have the phone to give you) where private lawyers have volunteered to do some pro-bono work. You will have to qualify and such but if you do qualify, they will normally assign your case to a private attorney (rather than legal aid) who will do the work without charge to you.

How to find attorneys that work pro-bono?
Q. I need to find a good criminal defense attorney that would be willing to take a bogus case pro-bono. My husband is being charged with assault for allegedly giving his 15 year old daughter a "wedgie" (this would have happened over a year ago when she was 13 or 14) This child is a pathological liar and this is not the first time she has tried to say stuff, not only about her father, but other men as well. How can I find an attorney willing to work this case either pro-bono or cheaper than usual?

I doubt that a lawyer is going to take your case pro bono to enrich you. What you need is a personal injury attorney who will take your case on a contingency basis.
