Wrongful-eviction defense: Tiffany needs $2,900 before the deadline
A wrongful-eviction defense deadline is approaching and Tiffany can't afford the lawyer.
🇦🇺 Australia2,416 views
I'm facing a wrongful-eviction defense. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,900. 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 Sydney 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 $2,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,850
• Filing and biometrics fees: $690
• Certified translations and document copies: $300
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Tiffany. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
