How do I go about finding a pro bono attorney to discuss my business's legal structure, licenses/permits, and an employment contract?
I went to my city's chamber of commerce and they said they can't really help me but gave me some numbers to call that might help. One was a number for legal aid and the other was the district attorney's number. I called the legal aid which is what they recommended first obviously and they said they don't just have a list of pro bono or retired attorneys and that I would need to contact a private attorney. How would I go about finding a pro bono private attorney for my busniess?

that's not the kind of work attorneys do pro bono

If you're making money, why would you expect lawyers to work for free?
That said, if you're in the US you might try seeing what resources are available from the Small Business Administration. It's your tax money funding them.

And see if your local county has information about business issues and legal requirements etc. Here is one from mine: http://www.unioncounty.org/wp-content/uploads/BusinessGuideMarysville2014.pdf
If you have access to university law library, perhaps pay them a visit and ask the reference librarian. They like challenges.

then they're going to hate OP because he probably doesn't have a single question that couldn't be answered in less than 3 seconds by Google.

so something you could conceivably be making money from before worrying about the legal formalities?

Start working and making money. If you can do that you can pay a lawyer to do this for you. Or you can do it yourself in about 4-6hrs on your own and have a better understanding on the issue anyway

Pro bono is where an attorny offers up his services for free in a criminal justice case. This is because in our western society we believe that every person should have a chance at a fair trial and thus also when he or she cannot afford legal help, hencr the pro bono part. This does NOT mean that you can get free legal advice for setting up a business or in civil cases.

If you're stupid enough to think a lawyer would work for free for a private business you're too stupid to be anything but a wageslave

This.
Too lazy to do your own legal research and too broke to pay? You're not going to make it.
