Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Consuelo.
Anywhere in the world1,212 views
I'm facing an unlawful eviction, 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 family-law attorney licensed in Bogotá D.C. 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 Bogotá 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.

Good luck, Consuelo. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Caloocan.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Embakasi but we're thinking of you. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family, Consuelo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hope it all works out, Consuelo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Bogotá.
