Wrongful-eviction defense: Karina needs $2,150 before the deadline
Karina needs $2,150 for filing fees and representation in a wrongful-eviction defense before the September deadline.
🇺🇸 Georgia, United States1,311 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. 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 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.
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 $2,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,450
• Filing and biometrics fees: $400
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $120
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

looking forward to the next update. Love from Tokyo.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Augusta.
wishing you the best, Karina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope September is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Saket so I could bring a meal. Blessings

rooting for you, Karina. Hope you get there. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Karina. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Blessings!
