You don't even have to say it was pro bono. Unless they specifically ask how much you made there, no worries. If they do ask you can tell them you had the opportunity to work on a couple of complex cases and you looked at it as continuing education.

Just leave a gap for the time you we're caring for your dad. They will ask about it and you will tell them you were your dad's caregiver until his death and then you took time to prepare his house for sale.

In the meantime, I suggest you do some more pro bono or volunteer work so you'll have current references.
