A few hours of consumer-debt lawyer time could save Mateus's home
Mateus is facing an unlawful eviction and can't afford a lawyer; a consumer-debt lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing an unlawful eviction, with a hearing on June. 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 Petrópolis 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.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Mateus. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Chicago.
