Anywhere in the world332 views
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 British Columbia 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 Burnaby 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Hang in there, Jacob. Shared this with my family. Love from Phuket.
stay strong, Jacob. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
