Pro bono immigration lawyer needed for Edilene's case in São Paulo
Edilene is facing an unpaid wages claim and can't afford a lawyer; an immigration lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing an unpaid wages claim, with a hearing on December. 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 immigration lawyer licensed in São Paulo 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 Santos 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.
