I am 62 and I put in for Social Security. Ten years ago when I left Oregon I had some misdemeanor assault charges. SS says they can't pay me since I have the warrants. I have written to the sheriff out there plus SS has let them know where I am. They have told SS they will not extradite or persue the charges further. I wanted to know if there was a legal service in Iowa that will do some pro bono work. I have called legal aid and since I am a senior they say they can help, but the lawyer just told me to contact the sheriff out there. The warrant date is 12/27/96, I was in Cheyenne, WY on that date. I just didn't show up for the court appointment that I had. So how do I find a lawyer to do some pro bono work or one who will take a percentage of my SS after I get the matter resolved?
