Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division launches disaster relief hotline in response to Hurricane Helene
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division, in partnership with the ABA Young Lawyers Section and FEMA, has opened its Disaster Relief Hotline to provide essential legal assistance to Floridians affected by the storm.
The hotline aims to connect volunteer attorneys with those who cannot afford legal representation for non-fee generating cases, particularly in the wake of such devastating events.
All Florida Bar members eligible to practice are invited to participate and lend their support during this critical time. Interested volunteers can sign up via a dedicated form and are encouraged to review the “Disaster Assistance Manual for Legal Services Advocates,” which outlines essential information for assisting victims and navigating recovery options through FEMA and other organizations.
