Eligibility is usually based on your income as a percentage of the Federal poverty guidelines.

Do a family member have to pay a pro bono attorney?
Pro Bono means the attorney is doing the work for free, so no one will have to pay. Attorneys are not required to perform pro bono work, but many do it to volunteer their time, because they believe in helping people who cannot help themselves. Many firms also have pro bono departments, that they operate for tax benefits and public image. Attorneys working pro bono are under the same ethical obligations as they would be for their paying clients, and therefore must continue to offer their best possible legal representation to the pro bono client. To suggest that they would not work as hard for a pro bono client is a serious accusation, and the sort of allegation that could get an attorney in trouble with the bar. Typically, pro bono clients must apply with a local pro bono or legal aid project, and must meet certain income/asset requirements. If it is later found that the client hid assets or had a change in circumstances, he/she may be required to repay some or all of the volunteer's time.
