A few hours of immigration lawyer time could save Charles's home

Charles is facing a custody dispute and can't afford a lawyer; an immigration lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a custody dispute, with a hearing on November. 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 immigration lawyer licensed in Scotland 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 Edinburgh 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.

              Best of luck, Charles. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
