I'm facing a debt-collection lawsuit I believe is invalid, with a hearing on July. 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 Pennsylvania 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 Scranton 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. Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      So sorry you're going through this, Valentina. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai.

      • Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
