I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,650. 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 Berlin 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 $2,650 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,100 • Filing and biometrics fees: $250 • Certified translations and document copies: $220 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sebastian

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($367 in total) I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
