I also represent Pro-Palestine, anti-racism/BLM, and anti-ICE protesters pro bono.
I'm not a nonprofit and take no government funding, because the Legal Services Corporation, the government agency that funds legal aid nonprofits, prohibits its recipients from representing undocumented people and I won't turn anyone away because of their immigration status.

I'm openly trans and was privileged to play a small part in the fight for trans equality by making it possible for trans people to practice law in Illinois without being deadnamed, misgendered, or subjected to genital inspections.

I keep seeing people asking why the police aren't arresting ICE or protecting people from ICE and I desperately need you to understand that the police aren't protecting you from ICE because protecting YOU is not and never has been their function and that's why we need to defund them.
Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Hello Everyone! I'm Sheryl Weikal, "The Leftist Lawyer." I'm a name-your-own-price law practice in Illinois, USA. Illinois has no right to counsel in eviction or foreclosure cases,
so I represent people facing homelessness who otherwise couldn't afford lawyers.
Illinois is also one of 42 US states that charges for and means tests the public defender, so I take criminal cases for people who can't afford the public defender or don't qualify.
