Defending a client in landlord tenant dispute. David provided representation of a tenant who had been badly mistreated by his landlord. Despite the client's lack of financial resources, the landlord aggressively pursued a lawsuit against him for claimed unpaid rent. Not only did David successfully defend the landlord's lawsuit, but having been forced into litigation, filed and pursued a counter-claim, which resulted in a substantial jury verdict in favor of the client.
