The new job has me working for an office that gets a lot of these types of clients for representation. The court also sends anyone who elects to be Pro Se to us before they can file their motions or answers.
But we have another type of Pro Bono client, which is the inadvertant type I was referring to. "Well, he
said he had the money!"
