Indiana Law Firm Hofer Hagan LLP is beginning work on Pink Energy / PowerHome Solar cases

 We are in the early stage of working up a number of  Pink Energy solar panel installation cases.  The deeper I get into it, the more that I see that it is a major project involving a lot of challenges.  I can see why a lot of lawyers want nothing to do with these cases. The company that created the mess, Pink Energy, is bankrupt. The potential clients didn't pay a lot up front, probably don't have a lot of money to spend on a lawyer, but are on the hook for a big loan to a mean old finance company.  The actual subject matter of the contracts is very technical and complex. Just figuring out, explaining and proving the defects is challenging.  

What we have going for us that a lot of lawyers don't is experience in using the FTC Holder Rule against lenders in consumer cases.  Pursuing claims against these lenders could yield very good results and has the potential to protect the clients against having to pay for nonfunctional systems for years to come.  

By the way, here's a good story from CBS4 about the problems of Pink Energy customers in Indiana.
