Legal fees for Rakesh's wrongful-eviction defense in Manchester
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Rakesh can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom1,738 views
Rakesh is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,650. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rakesh has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Manchester Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Rakesh 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 $2,650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,950
• Filing and biometrics fees: $390
• Certified translations and document copies: $195
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.
