Edric R Knight, CPA(Inactive)

Retired
Minneapolis,MN

As a community activist and a retired CPA and financial analyst contracting with major corporations my contact with legal aid was as a client after an eviction in 2014 of which I prevailed only to have the landlord give me another eviction notice the same day after the court order to dismiss having lived there for 23 years. It was retaliatory for forcing repairs. In October 2018 I was elected to the Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid Board of directors to give input from a community perspective.
