Putnam County residents affected by the March tornado will have access to free legal aid thanks to a new grant.
The Legal Services Corporation has given $125,000 to the Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee for direct legal services, educational outreach and free legal clinics. The Legal Aid Society will host three virtual legal clinics for disaster victims in Spring 2021, recruiting pro bono attorneys to assist and provide legal services.
As well as hiring a full-time disaster relief attorney, who will provide direct legal services to victims. There are also plans to produce promotional materials, educational videos and self-help brochures for disaster victims.
For more information about the Legal Aid Society and the resources available, please contact the firm at 800-238-1443 or online at www.las.org.
