Volunteers Needed for Ask A Lawyer – WNC Disaster Recovery Hotline
Looking for an opportunity to volunteer to help the flood victims in North Carolina? The Pro Bono Committee would like to make you aware of an opportunity that that does not involve traveling to the mountains. The North Carolina Bar Association and Foundation, in partnership with Pisgah Legal Services and Legal Aid of North Carolina, is seeking attorney volunteers for an upcoming Ask a Lawyer – WNC Disaster Recovery Hotline. Attorneys are needed to help answer calls from western North Carolina residents who have legal questions related to disaster recovery. This is a one-day event on Wednesday, August 27, that will run in two shifts: 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Attorneys can volunteer from anywhere using their laptop or mobile device and will be provided with a login to the Telzio phone services platform in order to take calls. Topic areas of need include FEMA Claims and Appeals, FEMA Roads and Bridges, Housing, Property, Consumer, and Insurance Claims and Disputes.
