Episode 58: From Locked Up To Locked Out!!!

Crime Time: With Virginia Defense Attorneys

Evictions and landlord tenant law have a lot of similarities to the criminal justice system. So we were lucky to have two awesome attorneys join us in this episode. Dipti Pidikiti-Smith and Colleen O'Conor are two local legal aid attorneys sharing their own opinions (not those of their place of employment) in this episode. They helped to educate us all on why tenants need attorneys when they go for these hearings. If you are at risk of losing your housing or your landlord is trying to evict you or you have criminal charges that can impact your housing please listen to this episode and at least consult with an attorney before going to court!
LEGAL DISCLAIMER:
If you are listening to this podcast, thank you! We sincerely hope you are listening to this podcast for its entertainment value and not with the intention of acquiring legal advice for any individual case or situation. I mean, come on! You wouldn’t take advice from someone you have never met or spoken to directly, right? If you were bleeding profusely, you wouldn’t listen to a podcast in hopes of a bandage somehow materializing over the internet and onto your 3D printer. Seeking actual legal advice can be just as important as a tourniquet. The hosts of this podcast are in no way intending to create an attorney-client relationship with any listener. Sorry. We are sure you all are great people but we cannot stress enough how little we know of you and your case and rather than risk an awkward moment, let us just remember we have never met. Nothing on this platform be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation! We are just a group of friends with differing opinions and viewpoints which we will try to explore through discussions of current events, law changes, and whatever else floats our fancy.
