Legal fees for Luke's wrongful-eviction defense in Sheffield
Luke needs $3,050 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the August deadline.
🇬🇧 Sheffield, England, United Kingdom1,941 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,050. 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 $3,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $630
• Certified translations and document copies: $160
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Luke. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Kolkata.
Sending love, Luke. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Luke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 35 people at work.
