Pro bono consumer-debt lawyer needed for Michael's case in California
Michael is facing a visa refusal appeal and can't afford a lawyer; a consumer-debt lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, 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 consumer-debt lawyer 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 Riverside 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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Michael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
