Support Tannis Davidson's Fight for Homeowner Rights

Hi, my name is Michelle and I am fundraising for Tannis Davidson. Let's not let this happen to any of us that contractors can unilaterally make whatever changes and we have to pay for it.

Story:

Tannis Davidson, a small business owner, found herself in a nightmare scenario when contractors deviated from approved plans, leaving her with substandard work and mounting expenses. Despite being armed with solid legal knowledge and assistance from lawyer friends, Tannis faced an unjust ruling in court. The judge's decision set a dangerous precedent, allowing contractors to make unilateral changes without repercussions, leaving homeowners vulnerable to unjust expenses.

Tannis, despite her struggles amid the pandemic, took on the legal battle herself, with the support of knowledgeable advisors. However, even with her thorough preparation, the ruling went against her, leaving her with significant financial burdens.

Why Support Tannis?

1. Protecting Homeowner Rights: Tannis's case highlights the urgent need to protect homeowners from unscrupulous contractors and unjust legal rulings. Your support will help her continue her fight for fairness and accountability in the construction industry, ensuring that homeowners aren't unfairly burdened by contractors' mistakes.

2. Financial Struggles: As a small business owner impacted by COVID-19, Tannis has been facing financial challenges. Your donation will alleviate some of the financial burdens she's incurred due to court fees and the fixes required on her home.

Example of Unjust Ruling:

During the trial, the contractor only finally disclosed changes to Engineered Stamped Drawings under cross-examination. This critical revelation further underscored the contractor's negligence and disregard for approved plans. Despite this evidence, the unjust ruling went against Tannis, leaving her unfairly burdened with expenses she should not have had to bear.

The Gender and Justice System Bias:

It's undeniable that systemic biases exist within the justice system, particularly against self-represented litigants and, in many cases, women. Tannis's experience raises questions about whether her gender played a role in the unjust outcome of her case. The system's inherent complexities and biases can disadvantage those without legal representation, making it an uphill battle for individuals like Tannis to receive fair treatment.

The Financial Toll:

Defending oneself in court is not only emotionally draining but also financially crippling. Tannis faced the prospect of spending $100,000 to $150,000 as a defendant, a staggering amount for any individual, especially amid financial challenges exacerbated by the pandemic. Despite the plaintiff's attempts to force her hand for payment, Tannis stood her ground, refusing to yield to unjust demands and fighting for her rights as a homeowner.

Your contribution will go directly towards covering Tannis's legal expenses as she appeals the unjust ruling and continues her fight for justice. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in her legal battle and help ease the financial strain she's facing.
