DETAILS
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court this month, Austin Bauer is seeking actual damages plus up to $1,000 from Professional Choice Recovery and attorneys James Cada, Edward Hoffman and Linda Jewson.
His attorney, Lea Wroblewski of Legal Aid of Nebraska, said while the case is filed against one particular agency, what happened isn’t unique to this collection agency or even this county.
“This is the way it’s been done in Lancaster County for years,” she said.
