In the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Harvey, the residents of Houston, Florida, and Puerto Rico are in massive need of help from the rest of the nation. This includes legal need since many will be navigating the complexities of flood insurance claims, property damage, and lost legal documents. If you’re a lawyer and are looking for ways to help, here are some podcasts that provide information about the situation and how you can take action.
In this episode of Ringler Radio, attorney Paul Skrabanek discusses the current state of Houston and what specifically the victims of the hurricanes will need as they deal with the storm’s effects.
