Looking for a pro bono disability-rights advocate in Queensland for a case with a deadline in May.
Anywhere in the world495 views
I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on May. 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 Queensland 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 Brisbane 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.

Sending strength, William. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Brisbane.
You're not alone, William. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Take care, William. Looking forward to the next update!
Wishing you peace, William. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Kathmandu.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Johannesburg.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too
