Pillersdorf Law Offices

Proud moment for the Kentucky legal community! 🏆 Prestonsburg attorney Ned Pillersdorf became the first Kentuckian to receive the ABA Pro Bono Award at the Denver ABA conference last week. Recognized by the American Bar Association for organizing the largest volunteer legal effort in the history of our nation, Pillersdorf represented thousands of former clients of Eric Conn.

If you were in Knott Circuit Court today you would have seen me representing a widow whose home was being foreclosed on and asking to be sold because she didn't realize that the previous owner had not paid 930 dollars in taxes.
One of the vulture tax collection companies swooped in and paid the taxes and now is asking for my client to pay about 14 thousand to keep her house. The Knott Circuit Judge used the word "shocking" during the hearing.
These lawsuits are not uncommon here in Appalachia. Unfortunately many of our low income neighbors are the subject of similar claims and too often either can't afford or simply don't get legal representation to fight the vultures.

John Rosenberg asked me to remind folks that AppalReD Legal Aid can be contacted.

Eric Conn fiasco update- did a recent 30 minute zoom interview . Based on the email I just received the interview is being widely distributed on PBS and various podcast locations.
It is entitled -"The Fight for Justice in Appalachia with Ned Pillersdorf."
The goal is that the publicity will hopefully assist us in our ongoing efforts to get further relief from the Biden administration before they leave office.
Appreciate all those helping in this last minute effort. The best part of this awful 10 year debacle is the historic volunteer efforts to help my vulnerable neighbors.
