Legal fees for Manon's wage-theft claim in Toulon
Manon needs $1,700 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the September deadline.
🇫🇷 Toulon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France1,305 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,700. 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 the Toulon 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 $1,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $240
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Rooting for you, Manon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
