I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,700. 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 Nottingham 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 $1,700 goes: • Attorney retainer: $920 • Filing and biometrics fees: $440 • Certified translations and document copies: $210 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 Thank you so much. - Taylor

Updates from Taylor

  1. Small update. $1,775 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,387 in total) the plan for court-appointed interpreter and travel is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 61% funded and the plan for attorney retainer is now scheduled.
