Wrongful-eviction defense: Alok needs $3,300 before the deadline

Alok needs $3,300 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the August deadline.

I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,300. 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. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $3,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,200 • Filing and biometrics fees: $720 • Certified translations and document copies: $250 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Alok

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alok.

              • Alok F. KumarOwnerAnswerID verified

                Sure. The biggest one is attorney retainer, $2,200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.

                    everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Edmonton this morning. God bless.
