A few hours of family-law attorney time could save Emily's home
Looking for a pro bono family-law attorney in Gauteng for a case with a deadline in August.
🇿🇦 Gauteng, South Africa1,341 views
I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, with a hearing on August. 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 Gauteng 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 Johannesburg 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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Orlando.
Wishing you peace, Emily. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Caloocan so I could bring a meal.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Los Angeles.
