Help Riley cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.

Riley is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Riley 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 Riley 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 $3,600 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $850 • Certified translations and document copies: $120 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $180 Thank you for reading my story. - Doris

    what exactly is the $3,600 for?

      Sure. The biggest one is attorney retainer, $2,450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
