By Karen Sacks, Esq. VLJ Provides Pro Bono Legal Aid to NJ Victims of Superstorm Sandy
T
he wrath of Superstorm Sandy continues to take its toll on many New
Jersey residents, specifically those dealing with legal mat- ters directly related to the once- in-a-century storm. To aid those individuals, Volunteer Lawyers for Justice (VLJ) has created the Disaster Legal Response and Preparedness (DLRP) Pro- gram to provide them with pro bono legal services. Victims of Sandy have a number of ways to access assistance from the VLJ program including free le- gal clinics in Monmouth, Ocean andHudson Counties; extended representation; and a statewide hotline staffed by law students and VLJ staff and volunteer attorneys. “Although it has been sev- eral months since Superstorm Sandy devastated parts of the state, some legal needs of vic- tims of the storm are just now becoming acute. VLJ and our volunteers are poised to help with longer-term issues such as rebuilding and navigating the
insurance claims and appeals process,” said Karen Sacks, Esq., founding executive direc- tor of VLJ. At the free legal clinics, VLJ and its volunteer attorneys provide counsel, advice and limited scope assistance to par- ticipants. Matters often range from insurance, housing and landlord/tenant issues to public benefits, and FEMA appeals, among others. Volunteer attorneys at the clinics are from Citi, Duane Morris LLP, Gibbons PC, Jack- son Lewis LLP, McCarter & English LLP and Patton Boggs LLP. The clinics will be held twice a month at Brookdale
Community College’s Hazlet campus and Hoboken’s Hurri- cane Resource Center. Future clinics are planned in an Ocean County location and in Jersey City. All victims of the storm with legal issues in New Jersey, regardless of their income and assets are eligible to meet with a volunteer attorney at the legal clinic for advice and brief service. Clinic participants needing extended representa- tion are screened for financial eligibility and VLJ will attempt to locate a volunteer attorney to take on full representation of the client’s legal issue. n Applicants will be screened
