Pro Bono Work Helps Keep Disabled Veteran Housed

As part of National Pro Bono Week, we’re highlighting the incredible work of Max Lee, of Law Office of Maximilian Lee, APC, a longtime pro bono partner of Inner City Law Center. Recently, Max stepped up to represent JT*, a 71-year-old disabled veteran, in a high-stakes eviction trial when JT faced losing his home of 28 years following his wife’s death.

Max attended nine trial hearings and spent countless hours preparing to fight for JT’s right to remain in his home. Despite the landlord’s attempts to misrepresent evidence, Max secured a verdict in JT’s favor, ensuring that he would remain in his home. 

Max’s dedication to this case, his advocacy for housing justice, and his ongoing commitment to ICLC’s clients exemplify the profound impact of pro bono work. Thank you, Max, for making a difference in the lives of those most in need!
