Free Legal Assistance for Survivors Affected by Florida Hurricanes

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Free legal assistance is available to eligible low-income survivors in the 17 counties affected by hurricanes Hermine and Matthew: Brevard, Citrus, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Hernando, Hillsborough, Indian River, Leon, Levy, Nassau, Pasco, Pinellas, Putnam, Seminole, St. Johns and Volusia.

This service is a partnership among The Florida Bar, The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division, and FEMA. Examples of the legal assistance available include:

Assistance with securing FEMA and other benefits available to disaster survivors;
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;
Assistance with consumer protection matters, remedies and procedures;
Counseling on mortgage-foreclosure problems;

Survivors may call the legal assistance hotline at 866-550-2929, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Those who qualify for assistance will be matched with Florida lawyers who have volunteered to provide free, limited legal help. Although consultations with attorneys are confidential, survivors should be aware that there are some limitations on disaster legal services. For example, assistance is not available for cases that will produce a fee (i.e., those cases where fees are paid as part of the settlement by the court). Such cases are passed to a lawyer referral service.

Other entities providing free legal aid are:

National Disaster Legal Aid Online (disasterlegalaid.org);
Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida, Inc. (800-405-1417);

Housing assistance and rental resource information you may not know is available
Referrals to other agencies and state programs that may provide further assistance
Information about disaster related funeral and other needs assistance

Florida Residents: Beware of Fraud, Scams and Price Gouging

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – State and federal recovery officials encourage Florida residents to watch for and report any suspicious activity or potential fraud from scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals who may try to prey on survivors vulnerable due to the recent hurricanes. They should also be on the lookout for price gouging by gas stations, hotels and other businesses serving disaster survivors in Florida.

FEMA encourages survivors to be especially vigilant for these common post-disaster fraud practices:

Fraudulent building contractors
Use only licensed local contractors backed by reliable references.
Demand that contractors carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation.
Don’t pay more than half the costs of repairs upfront.
Bogus pleas for post-disaster donations
Verify legitimate solicitations by asking for the charity’s exact name, street address, phone number and Web address.
Phone the charity and confirm that the person asking for funds is a genuine employee or volunteer.
Don’t pay donations with cash.
Request a receipt with the charity’s name, street address, and phone number.
Fake offers of state or federal aid
Beware of visits, telephone calls or e-mails — claiming to be from FEMA or the State of Florida — asking for your Social Security number, bank account number or other sensitive information.
Avoid scam artists who promise a disaster grant and ask for large cash deposits or advance payments in full.
Federal and state workers never solicit or accept money or charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help in filling out applications.

Those who question the validity of a contact or suspect fraud are encouraged to call the toll free FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721 or the Florida Attorney General’s fraud and price gouging hotline at 866-966-7226. Complaints also may be made by contacting local law enforcement agencies.
