A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Sunita can't afford the lawyer.

Sunita is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $450. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Sunita has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Sunita 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $310
• Filing and biometrics fees: $65
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
