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.
🇦🇺 Geelong, Victoria, Australia4,830 views
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.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Geelong.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alok.
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.
Sending love, Alok. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
good luck. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Fresno donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Sending love, Alok. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
