I can't get a pro bono attorney to talk to me about anything and I am worried
Hello Michael, you might want to try reaching out to Missouri's local legal aid organizations or bar association for legal advice. They often have resources for those who can't afford a lawyer.
I was told that public defender is pro bono and they are at the court house
That's correct, Michael. Public defenders are lawyers who work for the government, they provide free legal representation for individuals who can't afford private attorneys. You can request for a public defender at your first court appearance.
I need to talk to someone before I turn myself in I thought
