Washington Lawyers Stepping To The Plate For Storm Victims
The Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) issued a press release in an effort to reach out to Washington residents affected by December's storms. Fifteen Washington Counties were declared federal disaster areas because of this winter's storms. The WSBA has activated a hotline for low-income residents needing legal help to recover from the disaster. This program is established in accordance with the Disaster Legal Services Program established by FEMA and the ABA Young Lawyers Division.
Storm victims who need help but who cannot afford an attorney can call the hotline at 866-519-7099 and leave a message.
