Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Nicolás's wrongful-eviction defense

A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Nicolás can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,650. 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $1,650 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90 • Filing and biometrics fees: $450 • Attorney retainer: $1,110 Thank you for reading my story. - Nicolás
