Hi Joe! How can I assist you with your legal issue today? Could you please provide more details about your situation?
Its a very complex situation involving my eife anf I, our landlord and the apartment manager where we live. It's really far too much to text about. The simple explanation is that I was wrongfully terminated from a psh program administered by US Veterans Initiative(US Vets) in Las Vegas, Nevada for threats of violence from someone else that were attributed to me , and reported to my case manager who used this erroneous information to terminate my housing with no paperwork stating why, and with mo investigation, no hearing and no process for appeal. They also initiated an unlawful eviction by telling me we had 3 days, then * weeks then 3 days again to move out or we would be locked out of the apartment and the police would be called. Its goinh o 3 months since the incident, and we have yet to be given an eviction notice. I've tried contacting US Vets several times, but have had no success. Im scared that my wife and I could be evicted at any time
