Pro bono family-law attorney needed for Santiago's case in Yucatán
Legal aid is overbooked; a few hours of professional help would change the outcome for Santiago.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, with a hearing on August. 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 Yucatán 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 Mérida 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.
