At AVLF’s Housing Court Assistance Center (HCAC), we often see clients navigating some of the most difficult legal challenges of their lives.
Walter had previously reached out to HCAC when he found himself in a legal battle over his living situation. With the help of one of our dedicated attorneys, he filed three key motions, including a Motion to Dismiss, a crucial step in his fight against eviction. The attorney’s expertise, paired with the full support and resources HCAC offers, made a significant difference. Together, they were able to address the issues in Walter’s case and, ultimately, he triumphed — winning the case and avoiding eviction.
But housing insecurity doesn’t always end with a single legal victory. Recently, Walter returned to HCAC, once again facing another dispossessory. Despite his prior success, the continued legal threats against his home had left him feeling vulnerable. This time, our team was ready to step in once more, equipped with the same dedication and legal resources that helped him before.
Here’s what he had to say about his experience with AVLF:
“The entire AVLF staff, including attorney J, and others provided exceptional service. They’ve made a tremendously challenging situation much more understandable. AVLF is a wonderful and effective resource for our community.”
Walter’s story reflects both the ongoing challenges that many of our clients face and the unwavering commitment of HCAC to ensure they don’t face these battles alone. Our attorneys, staff, and volunteers continue to provide critical support, empowering individuals like Walter to stand up for their rights and secure a safer, more stable future.
