Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Paisley's wrongful-eviction defense
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Paisley can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,922 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,800. 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 Birmingham 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 $1,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $300
• Certified translations and document copies: $120
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Paisley. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Seoul!
good luck. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Birmingham.
