Joking aside, there's a very good chance you aren't eligible for legal aid.

The purpose of the "means test" is to assess the financial resources of the applicant. Under the Ordinary Legal Aid Scheme, the financial eligibility limit is $290,380 whereas that under the Supplementary Legal Aid Scheme is $1,451,900.

You best bet is to google lawyers in Hong Kong as many do, do pro bono cases as part of their CSR mission. When you check their website, there is a click down for " what they do", as in the fields of law in which they practise. You can only try to call them or email, stating your reasons and see what answer they give you. Good luck.

Most lawyers will offer an initial consultation for 30-60 mins. Best to talk to a few and see anyone bites.

Unless there is significant public interest or very genuine sympathy from them, I seriously doubt, assuming you don't qualify for legal aid, you will get one of them to spot you a freebie.
