Legal fees for Louise's wage-theft claim in Nîmes
Help Louise cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so She can stay with her family.
🇫🇷 Nîmes, Occitanie, France1,015 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. 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 $2,700 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $580
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
Thanks for reading all this.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
