Represent unrepresented accuseds in criminal court, _pro bono_. Let me explain. I’m affiliated with a local social service agency that deals with rehabilitating convicted criminals. Sometimes, the convicteds that they deal with make a little mistake (e.g. staying out beyond a court-imposed curfew). When they are charged with a breach of probation, the agency gives me a call. I am happy to step in, and represent them in court if they are so accused. All _pro bono_. This agency does a lot of good. I am pleased to donate my services to them. ---
