The only thing a lawyer has to sell is his/her time and expertise. If you needed surgery, would you expect the physician not to charge you? (ok, bad example, perhaps you would) If you go to the grocery store, do you expect to pay for the food you buy? If you go into a restaurant, do you pay for your meal? These people are providing you goods and/or services, and you pay the fees that they charge. A lawyer is no different. I m not licensed in Oregon, and therefore, I can t represent you anyway. But, I can give you some suggestions: If you are truly indigent..i.e. have no job and no money, then consider looking for your local legal aid society. In addition, law schools usually have a legal clinic where law students, under the supervision of licensed attorneys, will represent people for free. Divorces, especially if there is a dispute about children and property, can be ugly and time consuming. An attorney charges a retainer to work against with the idea that they want to be paid for their time and expertise. If you don t qualify for a free attorney through legal aid or a law school, then you should consider finding the funds to hire an attorney. You are wise though, by realizing you need an attorney to handle this for you, and for that I commend you. For more information or a further referral, contact your local or state bar association.
