Legal fees for Óscar's wage-theft claim in Iztapalapa
Óscar needs $950 for filing fees and representation in a wage-theft claim before the January deadline.
🇲🇽 Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México, Mexico2,039 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. 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 Iztapalapa 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $165
• Certified translations and document copies: $60
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Iztapalapa
thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dallas.
