A few hours of tenant-rights lawyer time could save Emma's home
Emma is facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions and can't afford a lawyer; a tenant-rights lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on October. 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 Los Angeles 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.

hang in there, Emma. Looking forward to the next update.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Cape Town so I could bring a meal. Love from Davao City.
