The Lee County Legal Aid Society will host a free legal clinic Jan. 14 offering limited civil legal advice to local seniors.<\/p>\n
The clinic will include a 30-minute panel presentation by local attorneys focusing on civil law topics of interest to seniors, with particular emphasis on post-hurricane legal challenges such as contractor fraud and insurance claims. <\/p>\n
Following the presentation, attorneys will take questions from the audience before offering 20-minute one-on-one consultations on any civil legal issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese clinics provide a safe, welcoming space where experienced attorneys volunteer their time to help residents navigate challenges like insurance disputes, contractor fraud and other post-hurricane concerns at absolutely no cost,\u201d said Andrew Banyai, executive director of the Lee County Legal Aid Society. <\/p>\n
The clinic is free and open to Lee County residents ages 50 and older. Walk-ins are welcome, though registration is encouraged. <\/p>\n
To register, participants should email Nanci@leecountylegalaid.org<\/a> with their contact information and a brief description of the legal assistance they are seeking. Attendees are also encouraged to bring any relevant documents. <\/p>\n The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to noon Jan. 14 at the Fort Myers Beach Public Library.<\/p>\n
