Does anyone know a disability-rights advocate willing to help for free? Russell, Hamilton
Looking for a pro bono disability-rights advocate in Ontario for a case with a deadline in July.
🇨🇦 Ontario, Canada571 views
I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, with a hearing on July. 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 Hamilton 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.
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Russell. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope things get better soon, Russell. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Agra.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Hamilton.
Hang in there, Russell. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
sending love, Russell. I hope things turn around soon. God bless.
