Bressler attorney helps grandfather collect
judgmentAIDD
A 72-year-old low-income grandfather won his lawsuit against an
unscrupulous car repair shop, but the victory was hollow because he
could not collect his damages. Then
the man came to the Civil Help Desk and met Louis Mendez, Bressler. 

Mendez contacted the repair shop, sent them a demand letter, and persuaded them to pay his client the money he was legally owed. 

"My client did not have a lot of money and he was dealing with this for a year," Mendez said. "He needs a working car because he carpools his grandchildren. I was happy to help him."
