Wage-theft claim: Bram needs $2,700 before the deadline
Help Bram cover the fees of a wage-theft claim so He can stay with his family.
🇳🇱 The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands2,872 views
I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. 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 $2,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,900
• Filing and biometrics fees: $380
• Certified translations and document copies: $250
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

how is Bram doing now?
Wishing you peace, Bram. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Rooting for you, Bram. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bram.
Sure. The biggest one is attorney retainer, $1,900. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Nagpur.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Busan so I could bring a meal.
take care, Bram. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Nagpur.
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Stay strong, Bram. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
