Does anyone know a family-law attorney willing to help for free? Michelle, Bakersfield
Looking for a pro bono family-law attorney in California for a case with a deadline in November.

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 California 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 Bakersfield 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.

Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Moscow
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Pune.
Sending good thoughts, Michelle. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
