Pro bono consumer-debt lawyer needed for Siva's case in Maharashtra

Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Siva.

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on February. 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 Maharashtra 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 Mumbai 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 hope life is good to you.

        Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Toronto so I could bring a meal. God bless!
