I'm facing a wage-theft claim. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,050. 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 Sheffield 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 $2,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $420
• Certified translations and document copies: $65
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
