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

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

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,050. 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 Móstoles 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 $2,050 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $400 • Certified translations and document copies: $165 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Marisol

      Keep going, Marisol. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

              Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 7 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
