I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on February. 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 Metro Manila 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 Pasig 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      • You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Paris.

        • So sorry you're going through this, Kathleen. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

              I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 21 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Los Angeles.

              • Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

                  • hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
