Author: MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Alabama attorneys involved in the Alabama State Bar, Alabama Association for Justice and the Alabama Law Foundation are pulling together to provide services to victims affected by the tornadoes that swept through the state on April 27, 2011.
The Alabama State Bar is currently scheduling pro bono clinics where members of the Volunteer Lawyer Program can provide free legal advice and assistance. The ASB is also creating a “bulletin board” at www.alabar.org to connect lawyers whose offices have been destroyed to those who can offer help and resources.
The Young Lawyers Section of the ASB is currently working with FEMA at the Disaster Recovery Centers by taking phone calls and assisting storm victims in completing and filing FEMA Disaster Legal Services Intake Form.
The Alabama Association for Justice is providing free help to storm victims who need assistance filing insurance claims.
The Montgomery-based Beasley Allen law firm, along with the Alabama Law Foundation and the Alabama Association for Justice, is also contributing financially by supporting the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the school systems in the affected areas.
