I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,150. 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 the Madrid Community Legal 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. 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 $1,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $900 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $145 • Certified translations and document copies: $105 I hope life is good to you. - Bruno

  2. Quick update: $370 raised so far (32%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
