Yeah, I hated the hours, but that I could have put up with if it hadn t been for the nature of the work. It was about arrogant investment bankers getting a deal, not people who were depending on you in a real basic way. Now, real estate means landlord-tenant stuff, staving off eviction so somebody has a place to sleep, O Donnell says. A lot of our clients speak Spanish but not much English. They get these papers from the landlord, and they just fold, not knowing what they can do about it.
People are grateful for our help.
That s satisfying, to keep people from being beat up by the system. And it s good to be back in court. Straight from law school at Boston College. I liked wearing the white hat, fighting for justice, all that. I was there seven years and tried about 30 cases.
