People who are providing valuable services for free have the right to decide who to give it to, anyway they want. It doesn't have to be logical.
EDIT for those who think lawyers are required to work for free. Not true. California is just one state that does not have a mandatory pro bono requirement.

Yes. It is very simple. There are others with FAR more immediate needs than you and Legal Aid doesn't have the funding to deal with even those people.
You DO have options!
Ask Legal Aid to refer you to attorneys who may be able to help you right now. There are plenty of them out there who would be quite willing to help you take preventive measures in this. Each state's Bar Association REQUIRES pro-bono hours to be completed each year. At this late date, there are several attorneys who need to complete their hours for 2007. Just ask Legal Aid for a referral.
