Legal fees for Francesca's wage-theft claim in Latina
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Francesca can't afford the lawyer.
🇮🇹 Latina, Lazio, Italy1,604 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 $2,450. 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 Latina 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 $2,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,850
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Certified translations and document copies: $170
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
With deep gratitude,
Francesca

Best of luck, Francesca. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Blessings
