Does anyone know an employment lawyer willing to help for free? Michelle, Wellington
Looking for a pro bono employment lawyer in Wellington for a case with a deadline in December.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, with a hearing on December. 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 employment lawyer licensed in Wellington 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 Wellington 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Michelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.

Best of luck, Michelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Wellington.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
