Legal fees for Mohammed's wage-theft claim in Eugene

A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Mohammed can't afford the lawyer.

Eugene
Mohammed is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $4,100. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Mohammed has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Mohammed 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 $4,100 goes: • Attorney retainer: $3,100 • Filing and biometrics fees: $600 • Certified translations and document copies: $195 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $205 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Walid
