Legal fees for William's wrongful-eviction defense in Manchester
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and William cannot afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Manchester, England, United Kingdom3,973 views
William is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,200. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
William has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Manchester Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed William 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 $3,200 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $115
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
• Attorney retainer: $3,015

Thinking of you, Jack. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Love from New York.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Manchester.
Take care, Jack. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
