Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Lorena's wrongful-eviction defense
Lorena needs $700 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the July deadline.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. 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 San Diego 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $420
• Certified translations and document copies: $145
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135
Thank you so much.
