Legal fees for Cian's wrongful-eviction defense in Dublin
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Cian can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇪 Ireland2,922 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,300. 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 Dublin 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 $3,300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $440
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you, Cian. This could happen to any of us. I hope January is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Udaipur.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cian
Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Reading.
Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best!
Stay strong, Cian. Looking forward to the next update. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Auckland
You're not alone, Cian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
