PinkBerry Co-Founder on Trial & Why You Should Care

In June of 2011, an ugly crime was allegedly committed; A homeless man named Donald Bolding was apparently assaulted on the side of a road in East Hollywood. Bolding claims the assailant beat him repeatedly in the head and arms with a tire iron. The case has grabbed headlines because he accuses Young Lee with the crime, and Lee is the founder of the astoundingly popular chain of frozen yogurt shops known as Pinkberry.

While no one has access to the truth in this matter, one thing is clear: This is a case of David vs. Goliath. As a homeless man with a criminal record, most likely Donald Bolding does not have medical insurance, nor does he have a support network that can ensure that he can provide for his own basic needs while recovering from a catastrophic injury. Mr. Lee may well be found innocent, but Bolding will still need access to food and shelter moving forward, and a personal injury lawyer can be one's only lifeline in such cases.

 Bolding has filed a personal injury suit, according to his courtroom testimony, and in all likelihood a Los Angeles personal injury attorney is helping him. Needless to say, Mr. Lee, a wealthy businessman, has an attorney himself. But there's hope if, like the team at The Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Bolding's personal injury attorney has years of courtroom success, a proven track record of success, and if Bolding's lawyer only gets paid when his case is won. In cases like this, an impossible uphill battle can become a tête-à-tête, and a person in a marginalized position like Bolding (if the truth is indeed on his side) can see justice prevail.
