Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

How does one find a "Pro Bono" attorney in Southern California whose area of interest are Trust Agreements/Real Estate Law (Life Estate Residence). Legal Aid does not provide much information and I lack the money to see a case come to closure since I'm on S.S.I. and reduced benefits understandably preclude a successful seasoned attorney finding my case "interesting".

Contact your local law schools. The schools have legal clinics where you will be represented by law students under the supervision of a practicing attorney/Professor.

Michael just gave you a good suggestion. Off the top of my head, I add:

In my experience, having worked for one in the past, bona fide non-profit legal aid foundations

will gladly share the names and contact information of other non-profit legal aid services.

Your local library will also have this information. and...if you are a vet, it's possible that the V.A. might be able to refer you further.

Best,
