Help Randall with wage-theft claim filing and attorney fees
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Randall can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Mobile, Alabama, United States3,300 views
Randall is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Randall 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 Randall 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 $3,100 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $300
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $175
Every share and every dollar helps.

Looking forward to the next update. Love from Ottawa.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Hang in there, Lillian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Rooting for you, Lillian. This could happen to any of us. Take care
Good luck, Lillian. This could happen to any of us
Stay strong, Lillian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Take care
