Free legal assistance Friday in Carson City for Northern Nevada flood victims
With early January floods and mudslides from winter storms being declared a disaster for much of northern Nevada, the damage assessment, and repairs are now underway.
President Trump declared a major disaster declaration for the area on February 17. Flooding and other damage have affected thousands of people in Reno, Carson City, Beckwourth, Doyle, Gardnerville, Virginia City, Chilcoot, Sparks, Dayton, Spanish Springs, Washoe Valley, and the Carson and Sierra Valleys.
As a result, The Young Lawyers Section’s Disaster Legal Services Program, in partnership with Nevada Legal Services, is sponsoring a free ask-a-lawyer program in Carson City, Nevada on Friday March 10 from 1:30 – 3:30pm at the Supreme Court Law Library, 201 S Carson St. No. 201.
A second program will be held in Reno, Nevada on Saturday, March 25 from 9:30am – 12 pm at the Washoe County Courthouse, 75 Court St, Room 116.
The programs are specifically designed to assist and offer free guidance to the victims of the natural disaster who are unable to afford a lawyer. The type of legal assistance available includes:
Assistance with life, medical and property insurance claims;
Help with home repair contracts and contractors;
Replacement of wills and other important legal documents destroyed in the
disaster;
Assisting in consumer protection matters, remedies and procedures;
Counseling on mortgage-foreclosure problems;
Counseling on landlord/tenant problems.
Any attendee is encouraged to bring in any relevant documents pertaining to the assistance they desire. No
