Help Lúcia with wrongful-eviction defense filing and attorney fees
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Lúcia can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Brazil910 views
Lúcia is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Lúcia has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Lúcia 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $90
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15
Glad we found this place.

Sending love, Cláudio. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Petrópolis.
Sending strength, Cláudio. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Sending strength, Cláudio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Blessings

Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
