Legal fees for Cian's wrongful-eviction defense in Cork
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Cian cannot afford the lawyer.
🇮🇪 Cork, Munster, Ireland728 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. 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 Cork 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,350
• Filing and biometrics fees: $430
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Thanks for being kind about this.

So sorry you're going through this, Cian. Hope you get there.
Hope it all works out, Cian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cian
Attorney retainer is $2,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Rochester.
this could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Corpus Christi
Wishing you peace, Cian. Shared it with a few friends.
Praying for you, Cian. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.

Best of luck, Cian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
