Pro bono employment lawyer needed for Luiz's case in Minas Gerais

Luiz is facing a benefits termination I'm appealing and can't afford a lawyer; an employment lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, with a hearing on June. 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 employment lawyer licensed in Minas Gerais 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 Juiz de Fora 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.

      Hope things get better soon, Luiz. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
