Does anyone know a disability-rights advocate willing to help for free? Yusuf, İzmir

Yusuf is facing a benefits termination I'm appealing and can't afford a lawyer; a disability-rights advocate willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on August. 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 İzmir 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 İzmir 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
