Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Veronica's wage-theft claim
Help Veronica cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.
🇮🇹 Lombardy, Italy2,124 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,650. 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 Milan Welcome 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 $1,650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,200
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65
• Filing and biometrics fees: $385
Thanks for reading all this.

good luck, Veronica. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Milan.
Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Alexandria but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Milan.
thinking of you, Veronica. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
