Legal fees for Evelyn's wage-theft claim in Derry
Evelyn needs $2,900 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the November deadline.
🇬🇧 Derry, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom628 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,900. 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 Derry 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 $2,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,300
• Certified translations and document copies: $110
• Filing and biometrics fees: $490
With deep gratitude,
Evelyn

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Karlsruhe.
