vanm98,
Our country needs more determined young people like you. Please do not disclose publicly on this forum the city and state in which you reside, but I suggest that, if you live in or near a major city, you go on line and determine the names of the largest private law firms in that city. Go to the law firms' web sites. Almost every large law firm has a pro bono policy, i.e., they aspire to meet the ABA's challenge that at least five percent of attorney and paraprofessional hours be dedicated to pro bono matters. This means the law firm handles certain matters (usually hardship cases) for free.
I suggest you go through the biographies of the attorneys for the large law firms in your city (start with the partners' biographies first) to see if you can find an attorney who graduated from the USAFA, USNA or USMA. If you find an attorney who is a SA graduate, call that attorney. If not, call the firm's pro bono coordinator or pro bono partner. Be prepared. Explain why you are calling; lead with your conclusion; and ask the attorney whether the attorney or the attorney's law firm would represent you pro bono.
Remember, this is your life. Exercise good judgment, continue to be proactive and do not let others extinguish your dreams. Good luck.
