Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Davi's wrongful-eviction defense
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Davi can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world606 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $200. 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 Rio de Janeiro Welcome 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.
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 $200 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Filing and biometrics fees: $115
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Hang in there, Davi. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Milan
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
