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.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States1,481 views
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.

Sending strength, Levi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

thanks for sharing this, Levi. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Durgapur.
So sorry you're going through this, Levi. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Take care, Levi. Shared this with my family.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Jinja this morning. Blessings
Keep going, Levi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
