Main thing stopping me is just being too low-income. Licensure costs, compliance, insurance, etc. all are mandatory expenses and just cost way too much to be able to just do those things for free right now. There local legal aid wanted to poach me as a staff attorney but they don’t do anything pro bono that I was actually trained in either. Not many have an interest in what I want to do either to expand on pro bono legal aid out here, so I’m a bit on my own out here. Being a state-by-state thing it’s a bit hard to collaborate with other attorneys too. Especially where most of the industry is built on even turning pro bono into a niche “low bono billing” law firm that serves only specific State-funded areas, which is almost never small businesses and arts. I did do it for a time before I had to pause. Still have my framed award for how much pro bono I did in New Mexico. I’ll get back to it one day, once I’m in a situation in life where I can afford the cost to make legal help truly free. :)
