I'm facing a custody dispute, with a hearing on May. 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 disability-rights advocate licensed in California 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 San Jose 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

So sorry you're going through this, Josiah. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Makati donated after I showed her your page
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
thinking of you, Josiah. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
