Our client is an elderly woman facing a divorce from a mentally abusive husband. She is low income and disabled from a stroke. She did not feel comfortable representing herself in court. Once I took her information and determined that she really needed an attorney to represent her in her divorce, I forwarded the case to our work study, Terrilyn, who, with the help of Dianne Young, successfully found an attorney to take the case for free. Divorce is difficult and it helps to have someone in your corner who knows the law. Although getting a divorce does not bring our client much comfort, having an attorney helps lift some of her burden.

Case of the Week: 9/6/04
County: Wayne
Age: 70
Our client is an elderly woman who had responded to a solicitation for a free phone. She learned it was for wireless service and decided not to get the phone. The compnay sent the phone anyway and charged her for service. Our client sent the phone back, unused, and asked for service to be stopped. The company did not oblige her and began to harass her for the fee. I sent a letter on our client's behalf asking the company to delete the charges and her account. The company acquiesced to my demands. Our client is happy that the company responded to the request and is now leaving her alone. She now has peace and quiet.

Our client is an elderly woman who contacted us because her neighbor's tree had fallen on her yard over a year ago. Although our client had contacted her neighbor about removing the tree, her neighbor never took any action. She had been prevented from enjoying her yard all summer long. Upon hearing her story, I sent a letter to her neighbor requesting he remove the tree. We have learned from our client that once he recieved the letter, he promptly complied. Our client sent a thank you letter to us expressing her gratitude. She can now enjoy the use of her yard.
