Legal fees for Gregory's wage-theft claim in Glasgow
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Gregory can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom2,793 views
Gregory is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Gregory has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Gregory could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,300
• Filing and biometrics fees: $570
• Certified translations and document copies: $165
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65

Update from Glasgow: we've started the first stage. We're at 56% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and I made the first payment toward court-appointed interpreter and travel.

Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Glasgow.
This could happen to any of us. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings!
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 12 people at work. Blessings.
You're not alone, Lillian. Hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
