A few hours of disability-rights advocate time could save Michelle's home

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

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, with a hearing on January. 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 Metro Manila 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 Quezon City 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 never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
