Help Michael with wrongful-eviction defense filing and attorney fees

A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Michael can't afford the lawyer.

Michael is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,750. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Michael 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 Michael 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 $2,750 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,400 • Filing and biometrics fees: $260 • Certified translations and document copies: $90 Glad we found this place.
