I am being wrongfully sued an cannot afford to hire an attorney. This man thinks I stole something from him while I was cleaning his house and I did not steal it, the police have already closed the investigation against me and have said they did not think I stole it. Well he is now trying to sue me I was served the papers 2 days ago.
Does anyone know how I can find an attorney willing to work pro bono?
thanks!

You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future. Do you understand?
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish. Do you understand?

Search "Legal Aid" or "Legal Services" for your city, and you should find people who can assist you. Unless you have a family member or very good friend who is an attorney, most attorneys won't work pro bono. The plaintiff will have to prove his allegations, and if what you state is true, he doesn't have a case. Ask the legal advocate about filing a counter-suit demanding reimbursement for court costs, fees, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Pro bono publico translates as "for the public good." There are some lawyers that sometimes take on work for the good of society without fee. There are some that take on work for the private interests of someone while arranging to be paid by a third party, as in legal aid lawyers working for an outfit that pays the lawyer via donations. Also, public defenders who take on private interests and are paid by the taxpayers. The lawyer who routinely takes on a private interest without any source of payment lives next door to the plumber who routinely fixes pipes without being paid.

If he is filing in small claims court you do not need a lawyer. Make sure that when you go to court you have a copy of the police report that says you did not do it. Also an a statement from the police officer that determined you did not do it. Maybe he will come to court to testify on your behalf. If not have him write a few lines explaining his position. Have it notarized. You know it will be up to the man who is filing to prove to the judge that you did do it! Hold your head up. You will be fine.
