The Florida Bar News: Bay Area Legal Services cranks up Florida Disaster Legal Aid Helpline

The Florida Bar News recently featured Bay Area Legal's Florida Disaster Legal Aid Helpline:

"Florida residents have access to an essential resource for navigating recovery from natural disasters, including flooding, wind damage, and more.

The Florida Disaster Legal Aid Helpline (833-514-2940) offers free legal information and advice to those facing challenges related to FEMA assistance, Small Business Administration aid, insurance claims, contractor disputes, eviction, home title and ownership matters, and more. Residents affected by hurricane are encouraged to contact the helpline for support with their disaster-related obstacles, a service available statewide to eligible individuals."

We’re here to help survivors across the state navigate the FEMA process and access the assistance they need to rebuild their lives and regain stability.
