I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for February, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,500. 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 Manchester 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
• Filing and biometrics fees: $660
• Attorney retainer: $1,660
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
