I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,650. 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 Paris Welcome Centre 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $70
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $530
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
