Road Home Program Comes to a End

I rarely talk about my cases, but this is too important. Everyone once in a while, an attorney’s purpose is chosen for them—that the cases choose you and it’s not you choosing the cases. For the greater part of my legal career, I have been fighting the State regarding these bogus Road Home lawsuits that many average homeowners have been suffering.

I listened to their truth, I planned, I have fought both in and outside the courtroom, and now the execution of the fruits is finally coming to fruition. These victims are your elderly grandmothers, minorities, those who have served our country and community. Listen to them and their story—their pain and grief of the government who failed them.

The Governor, Congressman Troy Carter, Mayor Cantrell, and Secretary of HUD did an amazing job resolving Road Home after eighteen years of pain. I commend them for doing what is right and just.
