Seeking pro bono advice: wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions

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

Syracuse
I'm facing wrongful dismissal after reporting unsafe conditions, with a hearing on July. 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 disability-rights advocate licensed in New York 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 Syracuse 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. Glad we found this place.
