A few hours of consumer-debt lawyer time could save Elaine's home
Elaine is facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions and can't afford a lawyer; a consumer-debt lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on November. I earn too much to qualify for legal aid on paper, but not nearly enough to pay a lawyer's retainer.
I'm looking for a qualified consumer-debt lawyer licensed in Rio de Janeiro who might be able to review my documents, prepare me for the hearing, or take the case pro bono or on a reduced fee.
I've organized my documents chronologically, and I'll share them with the lawyer who agrees to help. I can travel to your office in Rio de Janeiro or meet online.
I understand that the time of a lawyer is valuable, and I'm deeply grateful for any help or for suggestions of organizations that could assist.
Thank you for reading my story.
