Court-Appointed Attorneys File Emergency Motion to Demand Pay
A group of court-appointed attorneys has filed an emergency motion, asking the judge overseeing their case against the city of Philadelphia to order that they be paid. According to the motion, the attorneys have not been paid since late April or early May. Wrote attorney Samuel Stretton in his filing, "Lawyers are being called by their landlords for eviction purposes and/or foreclosure. ... Some lawyers are having trouble paying health insurance or meeting medical needs."
