Gareth Vandenberg

Volunteer attorney

Gareth retired from a long practice and now takes clinic cases two days a week.

Gareth Vandenberg practiced for decades before he began volunteering at the clinic. He mentors the staff attorneys, reviews difficult hearings and takes the appeals no one else has time for.

He likes to say that most tenant cases are won the week before the hearing, in the paperwork.
