Check with the Bar Association. There may be a Legal Aide Society in the area. Some "paid" attornies don't want the hassle of a good defense. If they get their money, that is all they want.

depending on the type of case he is facing, there may be lawyers or groups targeting that. the southern poverty law center, the aclu, the legal aid society, feminist groups, men's groups, homeschool groups - all these provide lawyers to members when the cases align with the goals of the group.
if you post more info, perhaps a specific group could be found.

they are usually overworked inexperienced and underpaid but all you got.
can get low cost first interview or sometimes free through the local bar referrals.
think of important questions and get your money's worth.
or look at yellow pages ads see if free first visit.
if there are civil rights issues contact the DOJ or ACLU for advice.

Not to be a total jerk, but if he is innocent, I'm sure the public defenders would be interested in doing their job as well as possible.

CRIMINAL CASES AND PRO-BONO DON'T GO HAND IN HAND. THEN YOU WANT A GOOD LAWYER. ONLY IF IT WAS A FAMOUS CASE WOULD SOME ONE TAKE IT PRO-BONO
