What is the best way for a senior that's filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy (hardship case) to get a lawyer that costs little to nothing?

The first thing for you to do is call your local bar association they have lawyer referal programs. But you should also know that currently it is illegal for a lawyer to do a pro bono (free) bankruptcy case unless he is doing his own bankruptcy. So you will not get a free lawyer but perhaps a reduced price. These rules are intended to limit the amount or availability to bankruptcy relief.

I don't think they can get a free lawyer. Legal aid in your area can provide low cost services and payment plans. Search for the Legal Aid Society in their area. These might help. http://www.nlada.org/ http://www.bankruptcyaction.com/ http://www.bkhelp.com/ http://bankruptcy.findlaw.com/new-bankruptcy-law/new-bankruptcy-help/ http://www.filing-bankrupt.com/
