Celina Grimes and Alexandra Markel Successfully Win Pro Bono Settlement Case
Celina Grimes and Alexandra Markel achieved a successful settlement for pro bono client Freedom Cleaning Company LLC, a metro-Detroit cleaning and maintenance company. The case began after a hotel that Freedom Cleaning serviced failed to pay the client for their services and in turn breached the agreed contract.
Celina and Alex worked as a team filling the lawsuit on behalf of the client with Celina serving as the primary contact for the negotiations and handling client communication so the client, who is a non-native English speaker, could easily comprehend the legal proceedings. In October, the hotel agreed to a settlement for the amount owed, making our client very happy with the result.
