Client names and identifying information are changed to protect our client’s privacy.<\/em><\/p>

Sandra O\u2019Connor is a senior citizen living in Southeast Georgia. Her total annual retirement income is around $20,000 a year. For years, she rented a mobile home for $400\/month. The mobile home was in severe disrepair and Ms. O’Connor has been injured several times. Medical bills have accumulated as a result. <\/span><\/p>

Earlier this year, Ms. O\u2019Connor paid several months of rent to the landlord\u2019s employee. The employee stole the money and skipped town. Instead of talking to Ms. O\u2019Connor about what happened, the mobile home park owner filed a dispossessory\u00a0case alleging that Ms. O\u2019Connor owed him the rent money that was stolen by his employee.<\/span><\/p>

Elliott Gillooly is a staff attorney at our Brunswick Regional Office. He works for our Eviction Prevention Project\u00a0 and was able to take on Ms. O\u2019Connor\u2019s case. Gillooly represented Ms. O\u2019Connor in court and successfully argued for the dispossessory to be dismissed.<\/span><\/p>

Ms. O\u2019Connor has since moved into a new home with safe and sanitary living conditions. Thanks to Gillooly\u2019s help, she does not have to forfeit a significant portion of her income to a negligent landlord.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
