I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. 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 $450 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $20
• Attorney retainer: $370
• Filing and biometrics fees: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope it all works out, Mohan. Shared this with my family. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Los Angeles.
