I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,850. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline.
I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at the Leeds Community Legal Centre has confirmed that my case is valid.
If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know.
I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $790
• Certified translations and document copies: $220
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
