A few hours of family-law attorney time could save Sem's home

Sem is facing a visa refusal appeal and can't afford a lawyer; a family-law attorney willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, 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 family-law attorney licensed in Utrecht 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 Utrecht 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 hope life is good to you.
