BayLegal client and attorney featured in story on SF Tenant Right to Counsel

This story from NBC Bay Area last week (in both print and broadcast versions) highlights the impact of San Francisco’s Tenant Right to Counsel (TRC) program in leveling the legal playing field for low-income tenants facing eviction.

BayLegal’s San Francisco Managing attorney Raegan Joern and client Nicholas Christie are quoted in the print version on the difference that TRC makes in a legal environment where tenants are far less likely than landlords to have legal representation, and where unrepresented tenants are far more likely to lose their housing. In the context of looming city cost-cutting, the attorneys and clients quoted in the article also highlight the significant cost savings that TRC represents for San Francisco.
