Overcoming a Solar Scam: Leroy Kirkland’s Success Story with Prevost Law Firm

Choosing to invest in solar energy is often seen as a smart, forward-thinking move for both the environment and your wallet. However, for many homeowners, this dream can quickly devolve into a financial and logistical nightmare. This was exactly the case for Leroy Kirkland, a homeowner who found himself trapped in a deceptive solar contract that threatened his family’s financial stability.After a 20-month legal battle, Leroy recently sat down with John Smith, the operations manager at Prevost Law Firm, to share his story of resilience and recovery. His testimonial serves as a cautionary tale for those considering solar energy and a beacon of hope for those already struggling with solar-related issues.

Sense of Security Turned into a Solar Scam: Leroy’s Story

Leroy’s journey began with a sense of security. He chose to work with ADT for his solar installation because they were already his trusted security company. He assumed a large, established corporation would be a safe bet, believing they would “never go out of business”.Unfortunately, Leroy soon realized he had “fell for the scam”. The issues began immediately following the installation:

• Financial Strain: Leroy was left with “double payments,” sometimes paying nearly $1,000 a month to cover both his solar loan and his standard electric bill.
• Poor Workmanship: The installers failed to connect critical electrical systems. Leroy lost three freezers full of meat because the garage was never hooked up to power. Even more devastatingly, his water and septic systems were never connected.
• Total Abandonment: Once the installation was “complete,” the company stopped all communication. To make matters worse, ADT eventually went out of business, leaving Leroy “high and dry” with non-functional equipment and mounting debt.

Finding the Right Legal Partner

Desperate for a solution, Leroy spent months trying to contact the company for warranty repairs on three non-functional panels. When he discovered they were out of business, he began searching for specialized legal help.After researching various “solar lawyers” and their reviews, Prevost Law Firm stood out. Leroy noted that the firm’s positive reviews were the primary reason he decided to reach out.

The Road to Recovery: A 20-Month Journey

Prevost Law Firm took on Leroy’s case, filing suit against his lender. While the specific terms of the settlement remain confidential, the impact on Leroy’s life is clear.

When asked about the outcome, Leroy was emphatic: “I am extremely happy”.

One common concern for clients is the duration of the legal process. Leroy hired Prevost Law Firm in August 2024, and the case concluded in April 2026: a 20-month process.

Despite the time investment, Leroy insists it was “absolutely” worth the wait.He credited the firm’s communication for making the time pass easily:

• Proactive Updates: Leroy noted the firm was “extremely communicative” and “constantly updating” him.
• Ease of Process: He was so well-informed that he “didn’t realize it was already 20 months”.

Life After the Settlement

Today, Leroy describes the feeling of having the case resolved as “everything’s off my shoulders”. He can finally move forward with financial peace of mind.

Beyond Solar: Understanding Prevost Law Firm’s Expertise

During his discussion with John Smith, Leroy expressed interest in what other services the firm provides. While Prevost Law Firm is not a general practice firm, they specialize in two critical areas of consumer protection:

1. Solar Panel Litigation: Helping homeowners like Leroy navigate fraud, poor installation, and predatory lending in the solar industry.
2. Consumer Bankruptcy: Assisting individuals who are overwhelmed by unsecured debt.

John Smith clarified that while bankruptcy can carry a stigma, it is a powerful tool for those “upside down on debt”. He explained that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can “wipe out all… credit card debts… and medical debt”. For those with higher incomes or more assets, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a manageable three-to-five-year payment plan to resolve debts.
