Legal fees for Patrick's wage-theft claim in London
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Patrick can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 London, England, United Kingdom2,384 views
Patrick is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Patrick has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at London Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Patrick 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.
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 $2,200 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $90
• Attorney retainer: $2,000
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
I hope life is good to you.
