Legal fees for Luís's work-permit appeal in Santos
A work-permit appeal deadline is approaching and Luís can't afford the lawyer.
🇧🇷 Santos, São Paulo, Brazil1,249 views
Luís is facing a work-permit appeal. The hearing is scheduled for May, 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.
Luís has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Santos Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luís 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:
• Attorney retainer: $870
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $50
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
