Does anyone know a consumer-debt lawyer willing to help for free? Zola, Johannesburg

Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Zola.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, 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 consumer-debt lawyer licensed in Gauteng 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 Johannesburg 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. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

        Hope things get better soon, Zola. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Abuja.
