A few hours of consumer-debt lawyer time could save Tomás's home

Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Tomás.

Bogotá
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 Bogotá D.C. 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 Bogotá 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. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

            I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Newcastle so I could bring a meal. Take care
