  • Indian Child Welfare Act
  • personal injury
  • probate
  • Social Security and other government benefits
  • trusts and special needs trusts

pro bono network registration information:

Registration places your contact information and areas of practice on the private Pro Bono Network attorney list. The list can only be viewed by the judges and attorneys who are registered with FDLC who may contact you directly. Volunteers must be eligible to practice law in Florida. Simply fill out the form below, checking all areas of assistance and levels of involvement that apply.

Please note: FDLC does not provide malpractice insurance for any attorney. Malpractice insurance may be provided through a legal aid/legal services program or other non-profit organizations that refer cases to volunteers. It is your responsibility to determine whether the proposed representation is covered by malpractice insurance.
