Community Law Clinic Students Negotiate Favorable Results for Tenants

Community Law Clinic Students Negotiate Favorable Results for Tenants 2

Lucero Bello (’13) and Jared Greenberg (’14) enjoy the moment outside the courthouse where they negotiated on behalf of their tenant clients.  Lucero and Jared represented a low-income East Palo Alto family who had reported significant problems with their plumbing and heating to their landlord during their tenancy.  Based on the strength of the warranty of habitability affirmative defense that they mounted, Lucero and Jared were able to negotiate a very favorable outcome for their clients.  The case required extensive investigation and negotiation with opposing counsel.  Congratulations to Jared and Lucero, and best of luck to the clinic’s clients!
