Legal fees for Dustin's wrongful-eviction defense in Sheffield
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Dustin can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom2,918 views
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.
