Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Martine's wrongful-eviction defense
Help Martine cover the fees of a wrongful-eviction defense so She can stay with her family.
🇫🇷 France689 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,300. 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 Bordeaux 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 $3,300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $700
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170
With deep gratitude,
Martine
