Help Brian with wage-theft claim filing and attorney fees

A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Brian can't afford the lawyer.

Brian is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Brian has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at London Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Brian could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $3,250 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100 • Filing and biometrics fees: $300 • Attorney retainer: $2,850 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lincoln

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about court-appointed interpreter and travel, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update

      Hang in there, Lincoln. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

        Sending love, Lincoln. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

        • Rooting for you, Lincoln. Shared this with my family. After 6 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of London.

          • Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of London

            • Stay strong, Lincoln. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
