A few hours of tenant-rights lawyer time could save Mercedes's home
Looking for a pro bono tenant-rights lawyer in California for a case with a deadline in September.
Anywhere in the world307 views
I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on September. 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 Oakland 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.

Take care, Mercedes. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Sacramento.
Take care, Mercedes. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. All the best
