Legal fees for Eva's wage-theft claim in Los Angeles
Eva needs $2,150 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the June deadline.

I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. 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 Los Angeles 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $580
• Attorney retainer: $1,450
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
Thank you so much.
