Legal fees for Gloria's wrongful-eviction defense in Hobart
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Gloria can't afford the lawyer.
🇦🇺 Australia1,912 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,900. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $3,900 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $195
• Certified translations and document copies: $145
• Attorney retainer: $3,560
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
