Question:
Looking for a pro bono lawyer in San Antonio, Tx that will take the case. My husband is about to be charged and indicted for murder and 2 counts of attempted murder. This is a crime he did NOT commit and he has witnesses, but they are afraid to testify because they fear for there safety. He gave the detectives the names of the people who did do it but they are still trying to pin it on him. He's currently incarcerated for an unrelated crime and upon parole the county is suppose to pick him up so he can be charged (he has 3 detainers ). He feels his chances of a good court appointed attorney is slim to none, so he doesn't want to go that route. The attorneys I have called want a prodigous amount of money because this will be a high profile case. Any help any one can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Answer:
I would start by contacting the legal aid department in your area.
He'll probalby have to stick with court appointed. Murder cases are expensive and time consuming for lawyers. They deserve to be paid for thier time and effort.
