During the next few months, there will be 1,000's of displaced attorneys, paralegals, legal secretaries and legal support professionals across the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. For many of these qualified legal professionals, they will be homeless, jobless and without an income until their local cities, firms and careers can be rebuilt or re-established. We believe that many in the legal community have the ability and desire to assist them in finding temporary employment if the proper channels were in place to do so. We have the solution, but we need your help.
