Eleanor’s Story

When the basement of Eleanor’s home flooded, she called in a repair service. They botched the job, but that didn’t stop them from keeping Eleanor’s money. Because she is blind and low income, the company never imagined Eleanor could hire a lawyer to get justice. They were wrong.

My LCD attorney helped me navigate and negotiate my way out of a dangerous, 2-year nightmare that almost killed me (literally). When he took the case, I was sick, scared, mentally and financially drained. I was almost ready to give up. I can’t say much more other than – I am forever grateful to him and the Legal Clinic for the Disabled (LCD) for taking my case. Thanks to LCD, I am finally free, and I’m able to focus on healing. They brought a bright, final resolution to a dark, hopeless situation.
