Any Illinois Sigs do Appellete Pro-Bono?

[philpatt]

My cousin is in the midst of a real nasty custody battle with her ex. He's basically outspending her...

Currently she's won a judgment, but he's filing an appeal (the first of three possible as I understand it)...

Her attorney has indicated she now needs an Appellete qualified attorney, for which she should expect to pay $5000 to handle the case....

So.... I'm hoping one of my brothers is capable and willing to give her a hand....

Besides this forum, any suggestions on how to canvass the brotherhood to find if anyone's able/willing?

Thanks,

Have you checked in the last membership directory to see who in Illinois are lawyers? You could also send e-mails to the chapter at Illinois (or other chapters in the state) asking if they can give you the names of any alumni who are lawyers.

Good luck and In Hoc, brother.
