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.

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.
