Legal fees for Dustin's wrongful-eviction defense in Sheffield

A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Dustin can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for June, 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 Sheffield 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: $2,100 • Filing and biometrics fees: $520 • Certified translations and document copies: $220 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Dustin
