Vandeventer Black Attorneys Secure Pro Bono Trial Victory Against Landlord for Failing to Fix Heat for 45 Days

In furtherance of the firm's commitment to pro bono service, Vandeventer Black Attorneys Jennifer Eaton and Daniel Stephens took on a pro bono representation against a landlord who—in the cold winter months—left tenant and tenant's family without heat for 45 days. The pair took the matter to trial and secured a judgment for the tenant in general district court. And, yes, the heat was finally fixed.

When asked about why she took the case, Eaton said:

"As most of us prepared for the holidays, our client faced the incredible hardship of living without heat. Something had to be done, and I am proud to have helped make things right."

Stephens added:

"We were pleased with the positive outcome at the trial, and that the family can hopefully have some stability."
