a pro bono attorney is an attorney that handles cases for free for certain clients.
these attorneys can be criminal law attorneys, family law attorneys, personal injury attorneys (usually contingent and not free), civil litigations attorneys. the government has to provide you with a free attorney, should you not be able to afford your own.What kind of cases do pro bono lawyers take do they do federal criminal cases?
They can take any cases they want. It depends on what's in it for them. Publicity? Community good will? The chance to change the law?
You'll have to convince them that it will help their reputation if they take your case.
