Legal fees for Roberto's wrongful-eviction defense in Coyoacán
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Roberto can't afford the lawyer.
🇲🇽 Mexico546 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,300. 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 Coyoacán Welcome 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 $1,300 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $105
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65
• Attorney retainer: $1,130
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

sending good thoughts, Roberto. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Çankaya this morning.
Wishing you peace. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Jakarta.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Take care, Roberto. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
