A.     The Underlying Action Against the Landlord
       In 2014, Kaushansky retained Stonecroft to represent her
in a legal action against her landlord. In their initial meeting,
Kaushansky told Stonecroft about the problems that arose during
her tenancy. There were multiple water leaks resulting in mold,
fires from recurrent electrical problems, a series of faulty water
heaters, lack of heat due to a defective heating unit, a gas leak,
and dog feces and urine in the hallway. When she complained to
the housing authority about these issues, the landlord harassed
and retaliated against her. The maintenance staff intentionally
spilled toilet cleaner on her carpet, broke down her door to gain
access when she was not home, rekeyed the locks, and failed to
provide her with a new key for three days. The staff also blocked
her car with broken toilets. Kaushansky was forced to take an
alternate route to her car every morning due to sexual
harassment by the landlord and his staff.
