<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />FREE LEGAL ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE <br />FOR HAWAII ISLAND DISASTER SURVIVORS <br /> <br /> <br />June 18, 2018. A toll-free legal aid hotline is now available to survivors of the state of Hawaii’s recently <br />declared disaster areas in Hawaii County for the Kilauea Volcano eruption and earthquakes. The <br />service, which allows callers to request the assistance of a lawyer to aid in disaster related matters, is a <br />partnership between the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, the Hawaii State Bar <br />Association, Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, Hawaii State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, and <br />United Policyholders. <br /> <br />Survivors facing legal issues who are unable to afford a lawyer may call 1-800-499-4302 toll-free <br />between 9:00 AM - 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, to request assistance. <br />When connected to the hotline, callers should identify that they are seeking disaster-related legal <br />assistance, brief details of the assistance needed and in which area of Hawaii Island they are located. <br />Callers can also email their information to disasterhelp@legalaidhawaii.org. Individuals who qualify for <br />assistance will be matched with Hawaii lawyers who have volunteered to provide free legal assistance. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
