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

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on December. 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 family-law attorney 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 Los Angeles 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.

  • Keep going, Addison. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best

    • Shared this with my family. After 20 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • rooting for you, Addison. This could happen to any of us. Love from Tema.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Addison. Hope you get there. Sent it to 11 people at work

            Sending love, Addison. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from 6th of October City!
