Legal fees for Yusuf's wrongful-eviction defense in Boulogne-Billancourt

A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Yusuf can't afford the lawyer.

Boulogne-Billancourt
Yusuf is facing a wrongful-eviction defense. The hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Yusuf 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 Yusuf 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 $600 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90 • Certified translations and document copies: $70 • Filing and biometrics fees: $440 Thanks for being kind about this.
