Also check with your local Senior Center. In Michigan, many SCs have brief, limited free legal advice on a weekly or biweekly basis.
You can also look up the Bar Association for (a) your county or city and (b) California generally. Bar Assn. listings typically identify sources of free legal aid.
Some law schools will offer a similar service, but you're more likely to find more resources through the Google hits and the Bar Assns.
Good luck. Post back if you have any other questions, such as narrowing down the search for specific practice areas.
