Wage-theft claim: Luke needs $800 before the deadline
A wage-theft claim deadline is approaching and Luke can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 Birmingham, England, United Kingdom569 views
Luke is facing a wage-theft claim. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Luke has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Birmingham Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Luke 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 $800 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $210
• Filing and biometrics fees: $380
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

you're not alone, Logan. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Birmingham.
Take care, Logan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Good luck, Logan. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted. Take care
Rooting for you, Logan. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Birmingham.
Take care, Logan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Juiz de Fora.
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Leeds.
