Attorneys seeking to assist victims of the July flooding in St. Louis may volunteer with Missouri Free Legal Answers or The Missouri Bar's Disaster Recovery Legal Assistance hotline.

Missouri Free Legal Answers
Attorneys who would like to volunteer to answer questions on Missouri's Free Legal Answers page can sign up at https://missouri.freelegalanswers.org.


The Missouri Bar's Disaster Recovery Legal Assistance Hotline
When disasters occur, a toll-free telephone number -- (800) 829-4128 -- is established at The Missouri Bar to receive requests for legal help from those affected by the disaster. Callers will be asked for a brief description of their problem or question as well as a return phone number. Volunteer lawyers are asked to return a call within 48 hours and provide free legal help. They cannot represent callers in court or accept the caller as a paying client. After talking with a volunteer lawyer, callers may be referred to available resources if they decide they would like a lawyer to represent them. Sign up at https://mobar.wufoo.com/forms/disaster-recovery-legal-assistance-hotline-signup/.
