A range of legal resources and services — all with costs and benefits — exist that can provide individuals with legal information, resources, advice, advocacy and resolution... an atty is not always the only — or best — intervention in a given situation.

Olive is 100% correct

[DefyingLegalGravity @DefyingLegal]

What a scary situation and one that happens often- this is why we need to democratize the law and ensure people have the foundation they need to answer legal threats. He is right about his rights but not aware enough of the law to enforce it against his landlord’s attorney later.

[K @MyNameIsK117]

My heart is beating out of my chest. I’m coming off of private because this got serious.

[DefyingLegalGravity @DefyingLegal]

Knowing our rights is critical, but knowing the law that gives rise to our rights is legal knowledge that we need to possess. Having that knowledge and confidence in the law and your capacity to navigate it is life changing. We see it with our students everyday.

@BaneOfCovid @ChristineRenaye @Amal4Solutions He also cannot get you out without eviction proceedings so please do not feel like he can just come and get you out. He cannot.

[DefyingLegalGravity @DefyingLegal]

These are HS students in NYC learning the exact same foundational legal courses as law students across the country. Students here are engaging in conversation around adverse possession during our property law sessions. The legal analysis skills of these students is impeccable.
