This guy is free and still doing business without caring that he did about 30 families injustice and left some of them penniless to the point that these families can not afford the legal fees to persue a law suit.

You won't find a free lawyer but might get one to work for 1/3 if you win if he believes you have a case.

I work for our city building department, is this guy a licensed contractor? If so, you can report him to the Department of Business and Professional Regulations. They will look into it and he could lose his license or have disciplinary action taken against him through your state.
You could get together with the other people that he screwed and file a class action law suit, usually there are attorneys that will take the case and if you lose, you don't have to pay anything out of pocket, if you win, they will get their money from the judgment or settlement.
I know all states are different, but in Florida all builders/contractors must be licensed and insured.
In the future make sure you only hire a licensed contractor. You can also contact the state (Dept. of Business & Regulation) to see if there are any complaints on file for that particular contractor.

Yeah, this is not really a pro bono area of law. Thirty families that bought or were buying houses should be able to share the legal bill for an attorney, I do not really understand, unless it was free housing, and you guys are all dead beats that try to get hand outs for everything in life.

Go to the web page of your state's Bar Association. There will be a link to Civil Legal Aid. This is a state-wide pro bono service for civil legal action. If you meet the income requirements, you are a candidate. If you do not, they will refer you to other attorneys who may take your case.

Unless you meet the federal definition of poor you won't find a pro bono attorney who will represent you. However contact Legal Aid as that is where pro bono attorneys get their work.

All you can do is contact the media and see if someone wants to help.
I fail to see how a builder can leave people penniless....builders have contracts and buyers are responsible for reading them. It's their responsibility to make sure they are not over-extending themselves when purchasing a home.

If you have a builder, you have more money to pay your own counsel...that's what most pro bono folk are going to say.
