Pro bono employment lawyer needed for Mercedes's case in Valle del Cauca

Mercedes is facing a visa refusal appeal and can't afford a lawyer; an employment lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a visa refusal appeal, with a hearing on October. 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 Valle del Cauca 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 Palmira 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

          So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Piraeus so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Hamburg.
