Does anyone know a consumer-debt lawyer willing to help for free? Deborah, Edinburgh
Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Deborah.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, with a hearing on March. 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 Scotland 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 Edinburgh 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jerusalem.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 26 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 34 people at work. Thinking of Edinburgh.

Wishing you the best, Deborah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Edinburgh.
