Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Frank's wage-theft claim

A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Frank can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,750. 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 Regensburg 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 $2,750 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,600 • Filing and biometrics fees: $820 • Certified translations and document copies: $175 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155 Glad we found this place.
