CLIENT SUCCESS STORY!
 
We would also like to take moment to highlight a case  handled by one of our volunteers, Sean Hunt, who agreed to represent one of our clients for a collection defense matter in 2011. Over the course of the four years this case was litigated Sean Hunt was able to negotiate a settlement which included a Satisfaction of Judgment and Dismissal. We thank Sean for all the hours he committed to this case and the great outcome achieved.
