Does anyone know a disability-rights advocate willing to help for free? Simone, Ottawa
Looking for a pro bono disability-rights advocate in Ontario for a case with a deadline in June.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada603 views
I'm facing an unlawful eviction, with a hearing on June. 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 disability-rights advocate licensed in Ontario 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 Ottawa 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.
Glad we found this place.

Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Ottawa.
Wishing you the best, Simone. Your post was clear and honest. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Salem.
Hope it all works out, Simone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ottawa.
