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

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

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $2,200 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,450 • Filing and biometrics fees: $350 • Certified translations and document copies: $310 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90 Thank you so much.

    Keep going, Parker. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too

        So sorry you're going through this, Parker. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Bakersfield

            Stay strong, Parker. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Gazipur donated after I showed her your page.
