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

Douglas is facing an unpaid wages claim and can't afford a lawyer; an immigration lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, 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 immigration lawyer licensed in Ontario 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 Brampton 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 so much.
