 Attorney saves Veteran from eviction
|
David Dowd, a partner at Burr, stopped the eviction of an Air Force veteran, who he met at the Veterans Help Desk. "I thought it was morally wrong that his landlord would not make needed, significant repairs to his apartment, despite repeated requests, and then started the eviction process," Dowd said. Dowd negotiated a consensual exit from the apartment by the veteran, which led to the dismissal of the entire case.
"I am beyond grateful to Mr. Dowd." the veteran said.
