Brenda Green

When the DC government sought allegedly unpaid taxes from more than a decade ago, Brenda Green knew she couldn’t afford to pay the amount owed. Ms. Green reached out to Legal Aid DC, and Volunteer Staff Attorney Tom Papson evaluated her case and began providing support. Because the matter was outside our core practice areas, Legal Aid DC connected Ms. Green with tax attorneys Andrew Beaghley and George Hani from Miller & Chevalier. After taking her case, they found errors in the DC government’s claim and secured a manageable payment plan for Ms. Green.
