The Supreme Court of North Carolina has issued an Order allowing attorneys admitted in other states to temporarily provide pro bono legal services to NC victims of the Hurricane/Tropical Storm Helene disaster.
NC State Bar Executive Director Alice Neece Mine explained, “We are anticipating an unprecedented need for lawyers to help victims of the storm with the many legal problems that will arise including landlord/tenant issues, consumer fraud, and most specifically FEMA applications. To this end, we have obtained a ‘Katrina order’ from the NC Chief Justice that permits lawyers licensed in other states but not in NC to temporarily register with the NC State Bar to provide pro bono legal services to indigent residents of NC who are victims of Helene.”
