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

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

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. 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 $3,250 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,200 • Filing and biometrics fees: $740 • Certified translations and document copies: $210 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100 Thank you so much.

      Hope it all works out, Roman. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Syracuse.
