Does anyone know a family-law attorney willing to help for free? Carla, Cape Town
Looking for a pro bono family-law attorney in Western Cape for a case with a deadline in August.
🇿🇦 Western Cape, South Africa1,432 views
I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, 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 family-law attorney licensed in Western Cape 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 Cape Town 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Nha Trang.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Cape Town
wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Riyadh.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western Cape. I'll ask around and let you know!
Your post was clear and honest. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Cape Town
Your post was clear and honest. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Seoul.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 14 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Carla. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Hobart.
Sending love, Carla. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Thane.
Good luck, Carla. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
