This depends on what type of legal help this person needs. If it's to defend himself from a criminal case, and he cannot afford a lawyer, a lawyer can be appointed by the court at no charge, a type of lawyer commonly known as a public defender. If it's to defend yourself or preserve your rights on a civil case, there are some legal justice centers available in most metropolitan areas which will provide lawyers at no charge to those who are indigent. Finally, if you're looking to sue someone for money, you might look at attorneys that charged a contingency fee: one that will charge you a fee if he wins the case.
well, there is always one obvious choice. drive around one rainy night and grab one at a bus station. i mean, sure they could sue you, but what the hey...just go out there and kidnap a lawyer, ITS THE NEW CRAZE!
That's not even funny. I need help getting a lawyer, not a stupid a** answer!
To obtain free legal aid, you have to meet financial guidelines - but that's just the beginning of the answer.
In criminal cases, you are entitled to a free defense lawyer if you can't afford one and you could face jail or death - but this free lawyer is a "public defender" or similar term. "Legal aid" is technically reserved for civil cases.
Legal aid in civil cases is not automatic just because you're low income. There is no right to a lawyer in civil cases. But there are many organizations that do provide free legal aid for some parties and some cases. There are two main criteria: 1) you have to prove that your income meets their eligibility rules, and 2) your case has to be a type of case that they handle.
Those criteria differ from organization to organization, so you have to contact them to find out if you qualify. To get a list of all the legal aid organizations in your area, use the related link below. First select your state. Next go to the Choose a Court Resource Category box and select Legal Aid and Lawyer Referral. That will get you a list of all the legal aid organizations in your area; follow their links to get their contact information - and usually also a list of the types of cases they handle, and their financial eligibility rules.
To defend you in a criminal matter, if you qualify (by income) you will be appointed a Public Defender to represent you.
There are no free government supplied attorneys to represent you in civil cases. You must find your own. Check with your local Bar Association office or Legal Aid Society and ask if any attorneys in your area take on occasional pro bono cases, or if they can recommend any help for you.
Most lawyers offer the first meeting for free. If you decide to use their help then, they will tell you their costs. If the lawyer doesnt have a free informational meeting, then you should chosse another one.
Not every case is eligible court-appointed attorney, so in order to request the aid of a court-appointed attorney, the defendant is required to file for assistance. To find an attorney that is not court-appointed, but willing to work pro bono (voluntarily without pay), you should speak directly to the attorney and plead your case.
Become friends with one (or any other relationship) and ask them for advice.
To obtain the services of a lawyer for free one needs to apply for legal aid. One can apply for legal aid by going to the ministry of justice website and following their instructions.

No this kind of case is not done for free.
Getting a free lawyer will depend on your situaton. Some lawyers will do pro bono (i.e. free) work if they feel your claim is some worthy cause to pursue. If you are already charged with a crime and are incarcerated, you are allowed the option of a public defender if you can't afford your own lawyer, or choose to represent yourself.
