Wage-theft claim: Anthony needs $1,000 before the deadline
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Anthony can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Colorado, United States1,547 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,000. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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.
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 $1,000 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $640
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Anthony. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Colorado Springs
praying for you, Anthony. This could happen to any of us.
Sending love, Anthony. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Palermo.
Keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
