We had got evicted from a property after 9 years landlord did not wait the 30 days for us to remove our belongings. They throw my mothers remains away along with a lot of property stolen. I went to file the necessary papers. Have a case management conference coming up next
Month but would still like to be repersented by counsel.

Where are you? It varies Country to Country, State to State. In the US if you fall within the income levels, yes, you can get pro bono (free) or reduced fee representation but in my area (NY) not in every type of case.
I have no way of knowing if you qualify.

You can get a lawyer if you have enough money. If you are asking whether you can get a free lawyer, it depends on whether an attorney is willing to represent you pro bono or a legal aid organization will take your case. That depends on whether you meet their low-income guidelines. And it helps if you are a minority, a woman, etc.
