Does anyone know an employment lawyer willing to help for free? Ruan, Johannesburg
Looking for a pro bono employment lawyer in Gauteng for a case with a deadline in October.
Anywhere in the world950 views
I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, with a hearing on October. 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 Gauteng 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 Johannesburg 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Ruan. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Huntsville.
You're not alone, Ruan. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Cardiff.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. After 13 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hang in there, Ruan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Calamba.
Sending good thoughts, Ruan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Lviv donated after I showed her your page. Love from Lviv.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Johannesburg
Best of luck, Ruan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Johannesburg.
wishing you peace, Ruan. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this, Ruan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Alcalá de Henares.
