Have you reached out to the Illinois Bar Association to ask if they can recommend a pro bono attorney?

Customer

No. This is my first step. Im looking for a lawyer that will serve as a board member for 12 months for a start up non profit

Ben S., Expert

You could reach out to the Bar Association and see if they have suggestions for you. Here is a link: https://www.isba.org/

You could also reach out to some of the large law firms in Chicago. Most (if not all) of the really big firms have a lawyer who is in charge of pro bono services. That lawyer makes recommendations as to which free services the firm will provide. You have to do some digging, figure out who that lawyer is in each firm, and contact that attorney.

Have I given you a satisfactory response?

Customer

Can you provide a start point for the digging I need to do vice starting with the association
