I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on November. 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 Northern Ireland 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 Derry 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.

Thinking of you and your family, Lucy. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Gwangju
Sending love, Lucy. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Derry
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
Sending strength, Lucy. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
