The first consultation is often free. You might be able to work out some sort of pay plan with the attorney should you decide to hire him or her.

To do what? Create PoA or other documents? Do some online research about what you need (ChatGPT is a rich source) and then you can consider getting what you need through sites like LegalZoom.com or ROcketlawyer.com. I've used Legalzoom.com to create PoA and other documents for both my MIL and Mom. You are able to consult with actual attorneys for your home state. Very affordable and maybe easier than trying to find reputable attorneys, plus you don't have to drive anywhere.

It depends on what you need him for. A regular lawyer or even legal aid can do Wills and POAs.

Can you tell us more about the kind of matter for which you'd be consulting an elder law attorney? For example, is it Medicaid eligibility, long-term care planning, end-of-life planning documents, estate planning, or something else?

Sometimes the Senior Centers have half hr, free. Also many court houses have fee attorneys for civil advice. Your state Bar association may give you names.

Call your local state bar association and ask them to refer you to a pro bono attorney and specifically explain to them what type of legal matter you need help with. Pro bono attorneys are volunteers who provide their services for free to members of the community who are unable to afford legal assistance. Depending upon the type of help you need, you may be referred to an attorney who specializes in a certain practice area, or a general practitioner, who does legal work in a wide variety of areas. You don’t always need an attorney who specializes in a certain practice area. For example, if you only need a Will, a Codicil to an existing Will or a POA drawn up, a General Practice Attorney would be more than qualified to do it for you at a significantly reduced cost, compared to an attorney who specializes in just Wills and Estates, if you find that you don’t qualify for free legal aid. General Practice Attorneys can be found throughout your local community.
