Legal aid center of southern Nevada refuses to help me.

How frustrating this must be for you! You might call back and gently ask a few specific questions, such as: 1. Did I not qualify for legal aid services because I make too much money? 2. Did I not qualify for legal services because you have a waitlist, or not enough attorneys for the number of client requests you receive? 3. Does my legal issue (breach of contract) fall within the types of free legal services legal aid offers? 4. Could you point me in the direction of other resources or organizations that may be able to help me? You might also wish to contact the Nevada Lawyer Referral and Information Service (LRIS). http://www.nvbar.org/content/lawyer-referral-information-service According to their website, "LRIS attorneys agree to charge LRIS clients no more than $45 for an initial consultation." As part of this service, I believe that the State Bar of Nevada has a Reduced Fee Panel that exists to help people who make too much money to qualify for free legal assistance but not enough to afford an attorney. It may be worth looking into. Good luck!

None will contact you and offer services through this site because that violates the Terms of Use of this site and would violate ethics rules in most states too. Have you contacted your state and county bar associations to see if they have lists of pro bono attorneys? FYI, pro bono is short for the Latin phrase "pro bono publico" meaning "for the public good". Generally, attorneys who do pro bono work do so for the homeless, elderly, or abused or when some sweeping legal issue with broad public impact is involved--absent those criteria, you are unlikely to find an attorney willing to donate thousands of dollars to you.

Many legal services organizations are limited in the types of assistance that they can provide. For example, they typically have income limitations as they assist clients within a particular percentage of the poverty level given that the services are free of charge. It is unclear what type of contract was breached or by whom and how, so it would be difficult to anticipate why your case could not be supported. You can ask for an explanation.

Their resources are limited and you breach of contract case might not be something they have available lawyers to provide services.
