Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Patrick.

I'm facing a custody dispute, with a hearing on November. 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 Île-de-France 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 Paris 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.

You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nakuru
take care, Patrick. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless!
