News: Montana Legal Services Steps In to Protect SRL Rights (Tashea 2017)

Without income and receiving food stamps, the Hadley’s wrote their own petition requesting a fee waiver so that they could respond to the eviction. The presiding judge denied the request, which meant the Hadleys would not be allowed to respond in court unless they came up with the money.
