Ashok is facing an unpaid wages claim and can't afford a lawyer; a family-law attorney willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, 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 family-law attorney licensed in New York 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 Buffalo 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.

Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. All the best
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Amiens but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Buffalo!
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Hồ Chí Minh City so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Ashok. Your post was clear and honest.
