Legal fees for Terry's wrongful-eviction defense in Los Angeles
Terry needs $3,400 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the September deadline.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States2,348 views
Terry is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,400. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Terry has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Los Angeles Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Terry 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 $3,400 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $850
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Attorney retainer: $2,320
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
