Long time AASEW member, Attorney Cheryl Baraty passed away yesterday after a difficult battle with cancer. Many times I thought she would win the fight.
Cheryl represented quite a few of our members in eviction court and other actions, as being active with the Association in some legislative battles. She was a close friend to former board member Kim Queen.
One of her more interesting achievements was finding that the Department of Neighborhood Services (building inspection) court section was “robo signing” court docs long before anyone noticed that banks were doing it also. That resulted in a number of cases being dismissed.
