Many Detroiters facing #eviction can now get free #legal representation, with the #Detroit Office of Eviction Defense. It’s a big step in implementing the city’s “right to counsel” ordinance after months of delays. To get a free attorney now, eligible Detroiters just have to show up to their first hearing at 36th District Court and qualify based on their yearly income.
