Hazel is facing a benefits termination I'm appealing and can't afford a lawyer; a tenant-rights lawyer willing to review the case for free could make the difference.

I'm facing a benefits termination I'm appealing, 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 tenant-rights lawyer licensed in Massachusetts 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 Cambridge 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 3–6 hours total
- format
- In person in Cambridge
- skills
- law, advocacy, document review

Best of luck, Hazel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
You're not alone, Hazel. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
You're not alone, Hazel. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
