If you are charged with a crime and can't afford an attorney, there's always the public defender.

Keep calling private attorneys. You never know. Try borrowing money from a relative.

As you know, the economy is very tough these days...even for attorneys. Finding a pro bono attorney will not be easy. But maybe if you're willing to pay a somewhat lower fee than normal, than maybe you can still find a very good attorney. The charge you are facing will also be a factor. It will be easier to find a lawyer for a petty theft than for a murder. Look around. David Wallin at www.wallinlaw.com
