Héctor is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Héctor 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 Héctor 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 $950 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $150
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
• Attorney retainer: $730
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
