Qualifying for pro bono legal assistance

    While pro bono attorneys offer their services for free or at a reduced rate, there are usually eligibility criteria to qualify for their assistance. Some common factors that may determine your eligibility include:

  • 1. Financial need: Pro bono services are often reserved for individuals who cannot afford to hire an attorney due to financial constraints.
  • 2. Merit of the case: Pro bono attorneys typically evaluate the merits of the case and consider its potential impact on the community before taking it on.
  • 3. Availability of resources: The availability of pro bono resources in your area may also affect whether you qualify for free legal assistance.
