Legal fees for Avery's wrongful-eviction defense in San Diego
Help Avery cover the fees of a wrongful-eviction defense so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States3,134 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $155
• Filing and biometrics fees: $710
• Certified translations and document copies: $135
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out, Avery. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you, Avery. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts, Avery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Avery. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Campinas this morning. Thinking of San Diego.
