Legal fees for Levi's wrongful-eviction defense in San Diego

A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Levi can't afford the lawyer.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,550. 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 San Diego 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 $2,550 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,750 • Filing and biometrics fees: $500 • Certified translations and document copies: $190 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Levi
