I'm facing a custody dispute, with a hearing on June. 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 tenant-rights lawyer licensed in California 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 San Jose 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. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Best of luck. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Kingston but we're thinking of you. All the best.

    • Best of luck, Dylan. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

      • Stay strong, Dylan. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Setagaya
