Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Per's wrongful-eviction defense
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Per cannot afford the lawyer.
🇸🇪 Södertälje, Stockholm, Sweden1,203 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 $4,000. 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.
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 $4,000 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $870
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
How is Per doing now?
Take care, Per. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Semarang but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Södertälje
Hope things get better soon, Per. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
