Call your local (usually county) bar association. Ask them for names of attorneys that handle family law - pro bono. ALSO: Ask them for the phonenumber of your local LegalAid office.
The sooner your brother does this - the better.
Good luck.

If his name is on the birth certificate he can go right down to the court house and fill the papers out himself. Then just explain “X Y Z” to the judge. Good Luck!

what does it matter that she is illegal and mexican? the general issue is that she is denying your brother visitation. He more than likely is 1. not being responsible for the child financially 2. For all we know your brother is an abusive psychopath and she’s seeing for the best interest of the child. if he is proven to be abusive in court there are special rules that a judge must follow in the state of california that state that an abusive person cannot have custody until they have completed batterre’s program and X Y AND Z…….
