Help Micah with wage-theft claim filing and attorney fees
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Micah can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,675 views
Micah is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Micah 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 Micah 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 $2,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $280
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
