Beck Redden Attorney Passes Bar, Saves Veteran from Eviction
Beck Redden associate Joshua D. Lee received news that he passed the bar on Friday, April 29, 2016, was sworn in on May 2 and almost immediately used his new license to help a veteran avoid eviction.
Lee volunteered at the Houston Bar Association’s Veterans Legal Initiative Clinic, and consulted with a veteran who had a bench trial set for the morning of May 3, whereby he was to be evicted from his rental home. The veteran participates in a program through which the government pays a significant portion towards his rent each month for the remainder of this life; however, he would become ineligible to continue receiving funds with an eviction on his record.
