FlowCounsel Pro Bono starts with a practical free layer: public visibility, category availability, structured requests, attorney review, and basic participation tracking. It is designed for private attorneys and firms that want to help, and for legal-aid and clinic programs that need clearer public request paths.

Free, always

Public FlowLawyers visibility, volunteer-attorney profiles, category opt-in, basic availability, structured request review, and hours basics. No paid placement. No charge for attorneys or legal-aid organizations to be findable.

Provider controlled

The attorney, firm, clinic, or organization decides conflicts, scope, eligibility, availability, and whether to accept, decline, or refer. The request context stays attached.

Reviewable requests

Requests keep the basic facts a provider needs to review fit: category, location, description, language context, consent posture, and the public page where the request started.

Free participation

Free participation without pay-to-rank placement.

Attorneys, firms, legal-aid organizations, and clinics should be findable without buying placement. Participation starts with availability, structured requests, and provider-controlled review.

For firms and volunteer attorneys

Firms and volunteer attorneys should not have to pay to make pro bono capacity visible.

Who it serves

Built for the people and organizations already trying to close the access gap.

FlowLawyers makes pro bono help easier to find. FlowCounsel keeps participation controlled by the attorney, firm, organization, clinic, or program reviewing the request.

Private attorneys

Make pro bono availability visible when you have capacity.

Attorneys can opt into categories, define where they can help, and review structured requests before deciding whether to accept, decline, or refer.

The system

One request path, provider-controlled review.

Public legal need, consent, soft eligibility posture, source context, and provider review stay connected so requests do not disappear into disconnected forms or inboxes.

Public entry

FlowLawyers starts with a public request path.

People can find pro bono and legal-aid options by state, category, and provider instead of guessing where to start.

Soft checks

Basic facts and eligibility posture are captured before review.

Consent, state, ZIP, category, description, household and language context, and likely legal-aid posture stay attached to the request.

Attorney review

The attorney or organization decides fit.

The system does not promise representation. The reviewing provider checks conflicts, eligibility, availability, scope, and whether the request fits.

Next step

Accept, decline, refer, or route appropriately.

Participation stays provider-controlled while the request keeps its source, consent, and review context.

Participation record

Hours and source context can stay visible.

Basic participation and hours context help firms and programs keep track of public-service work without turning the free layer into a full program-management system.

Collaboration layer

Private attorneys and public-interest programs should be easier to connect.

FlowCounsel Pro Bono is built around provider-controlled participation: attorneys decide when they have capacity, organizations control their request paths, and people seeking help get a clearer place to start.

Trust posture

Consumer-safe intake starts before the request reaches a provider.

FlowLawyers captures consent, location, legal category, basic facts, and soft eligibility posture before attorney or organization review. The public intake model is aligned with the Consumer Legal AI Intake Standard working draft.
