Legal fees for Nancy's wrongful-eviction defense in Embakasi
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Nancy can't afford the lawyer.
🇰🇪 Kenya1,373 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. 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 Embakasi 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 $600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $440
• Filing and biometrics fees: $110
• Certified translations and document copies: $15
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
