I need advice on appealing a deportation order?
I need advice on appealing a deportation order. Can anyone recommend a lawyer who specializes in immigration matters? I'm in a difficult financial situation.
Note: This is an editorial persona question created from common experiences of foreign residents in Korea.

For a deportation order you can file an objection with the Ministry of Justice within the deadline on the notice, and you may also pursue an administrative appeal or administrative litigation, so act fast because these windows are short. Given your financial situation, the Korea Legal Aid Corporation (132) offers free or low-cost legal help, and the Seoul and regional bar associations and some NGOs run pro bono immigration clinics. The foreigner help line 1345 and migrant support centers can refer you to immigration lawyers who speak your language. Bring every document and the exact dates on your order, since deadlines decide whether an appeal is even accepted.
