Legal fees for Darshan's wrongful-eviction defense in Nashik
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Darshan cannot afford the lawyer.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India453 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 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 $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $460
• Filing and biometrics fees: $130
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Darshan.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($460) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you and your family, Darshan. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nakuru.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Darshan. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
