Are there any lawyers willing to take a case for free?

I need a civil lawyer,yet in my town there are only two,and they wont take the case without 2500 to 5000 dollars,well ive been taken for 8000 and have all the evidence nessessary to prove my rights have been stepped on? cant u lawyers take payments?

  • Answer:

    Yes, lawyers can take payments. However, that is risky because there is little that a lawyer can do if you stop making payments. Unlike most service contracts, a lawyer cannot simply stop working once they accept your case. That is why they get a retainer up front. Of course, if your claim is only for $8000, why not go to small claims court? You will probably be capped at around $5000 (it varies by state), but you will pay more than that in attorneys fees if you hire a lawyer.
