I have a buddy who has Purple Heart. He could use some legal help in Louisiana. He had a pool installed and spent about $70k about a year ago. It is leaking the company isn't wanting to fix it.

If he can afford a 70k pool, he should be able to afford a lawyer.

There are free resources available for Veterans who are living in poverty from Lawyers giving pro bono legal advice. But if he can afford to get a lawyer I would go that route.

I'm not sure if by legal help you mean recommend an attorney / law firm or legal assistance. My first reaction is that of Aggie Therapist, seeking some.sort of legal aid.

I have no idea if it has happened in Louisiana. I ran across a YouTube video talking about "Concrete Cancer" in central Texas pools.

Maybe this applies or can be tested for. Sometimes troubleshooting is about crossing things off the list that are definitely not the problem to help guide you to what the issue really is.

File a general liability claim, this should fall under the contractors completed ops. Would hope your bud picked up a certificate of insurance from the contractor before getting the work done. Jumping to a lawyer should not always be the first move...
