A few hours of tenant-rights lawyer time could save Ruma's home
Looking for a pro bono tenant-rights lawyer in Maharashtra for a case with a deadline in October.
Anywhere in the world1,747 views
I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, 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 Maharashtra 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 Nagpur 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.
