Does anyone know a disability-rights advocate willing to help for free? Jocelyn, Rochester
Looking for a pro bono disability-rights advocate in New York for a case with a deadline in June.
🇺🇸 United States205 views
I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, 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 New York 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 Rochester 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.
