Is there a site that I can obtain free legal advice?

I have googled it but it seems there are a lot with hidden costs.Is there a site that I can obtain free legal advice?
Websites are NOT good places for ';free legal advice.'; The rules of ethics that govern attorneys in the U.S. severely restrict the types of ';advice'; that may be posted on a website. Attorneys cannot offer ';advice'; without accepting someone as their client, running a conflict of interest check, and establishing a relationship that allows the attorney to fully understand the issues and facts underlying a person's problem.





If you just need general information, oftentimes, there will be articles or resources posted by particular institutions or non-profits based on topic area. Need to know about whether a student can sue a teacher for yelling at him in a classroom? Try firstamendmentcenter.org. You get the point. In addition, you can always call your local bar association. They will provide you with a reference for attorneys with areas of knowledge that you may contact. Often, these attorneys may see you at an initial consultation with no fee.Is there a site that I can obtain free legal advice?
In the UK we have the Citizens Advice Bureau. I'm sure that if you were to google a specific query, then you could find a specialist who works for a charity or something.. good luck
