Legal fees for Abhishek's wrongful-eviction defense in Howrah
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Abhishek can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world1,220 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 Howrah 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $600 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Attorney retainer: $480
• Certified translations and document copies: $10
Glad we found this place.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Howrah
keep going, Abhishek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Düsseldorf
Wishing you peace, Abhishek. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Melbourne so I could bring a meal. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. I hope December is when things finally get easier!
Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Thinking of you and your family, Abhishek. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Take care, Abhishek. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Wishing you peace, Abhishek. Gave what I could, wish it was more
This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Paris.
Praying for you, Abhishek. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Heliopolis
thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
