Pro bono disability-rights advocate needed for Douglas's case in California
Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Douglas.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, 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 disability-rights advocate 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 San Diego 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.
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Douglas. Hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Take care, Douglas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Houston
Praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
You're not alone, Douglas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
stay strong, Douglas. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from Bakersfield
