I was denied my rights and had my children wrongly taken and santioned from me with no recourse but to comply with DCF/county demands. I was divorced but a dcf agent put me in with my ex wife resulting in 10 months of my children in foster care.I would like to sue for what the system promised my family in the first place.
I am trying to find an attorney to represent a refugee who is seeking asylum in the US. His case was denied but he must now submit an appeal and has no lawyer to do it? I have to find someone soon. If he is deported his life will be at risk. Does anyone have any tips besides sending e-mails to any immigration lawyers I can find?

I know someone that was wrongly convicted for a murder case about 12 years ago, but he could afford decent representation. He was convicted just from a witness saying that the person who did the murder looked like him. If anyone knows of any pro-bono attorneys in Chicago, Illinois or Illinois period, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
If someone has to defend themselves against a lawyer working pro bono for a questionably frivolous suit and they successfully defend themselves showing the suit is without merit and the work was done pro bono for someone without much assets can the lawyer doing the pro bono work be made to pay the legal fees of the side who had to defend itself.
In one case I’m thinking of a student has had multiple lawsuits brought by his mother against schools from early grammar school through high school and is having one now where I for the life of me do not see any merit in. Can a lawyer filing the suit be made to pay the legal fees of the people defending.
Is a law student allowed to represent someone pro bono in a civil action in New York [any county] Supreme Court if that person cannot afford an attorney?

I really need to find a public defender or someone who would take the case Pro-bono. We can’t afford a lawyer and need someone that deals with family court. Also, we need to have detective work provided and to obtain acess to records that we wouldn’t be able to get but a public defender would. It’s very important that we get a public defender as soon as possible. Again, anyone that knows of a website or how to go about locating a public defender would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of a way a person could be considered as a medical students practice subject, and maybe could act as their practice subject throughout their cosmetic plastic surgery training, in order to receive cosmetic plastic surgical procedures free of charge?
Or is there a way to be considered for pro-bono cosmetic plastic surgery?
This scam is preying upon unsuspecting people of all ages, it usually goes something like this.
Settting up the Scam
Someone claiming to be Nigerian officials, businesspeople or the survivors of former royalty, scam artists offer to transfer millions of dollars into your bank account in exchange for a fee. Other times, they offer to let you keep a portion of the money or donate it to the charity of your choice.
The Rip Off
If you fall for the initial pitch, you may be asked to provide your bank account numbers. You’ll also be asked to send some money to cover transfer costs and attorney’s fees. In the end, you get nothing. Meanwhile, the con has vanished with your money and personal information that may be used to steal your identity.
How to protect yourself
Never send money or personal information to a stranger. Ask yourself, “Why would this person want to trust me with their money?” If something seems to good to be true, it usually is.
