Hi! I’m Alicia Edwards, the new Director of the Disaster Relief Project as of September 1st, 2023. I’m glad to connect with you! I have worked at Legal Aid of North Carolina since 2005, handling a variety of cases. My practice had been focused primarily on foreclosure and debt collection defense in recent years. I am very happy and excited to have joined the Disaster Relief Team!
Legal Aid's Disaster Relief Project provides free legal services to eligible individuals who were affected by Hurricane Isaias, Tropical Storm Eta, Tropical Storm Fred, and other severe weather events in 2020 and 2021. Our services include helping clients access recovery funds, clarifying property ownership, providing legal services for local long-term disaster recovery organizations, and hosting disaster recovery education sessions and legal clinics. You can learn more about our services on our website. For the next 6 months, our team will be focusing on providing direct client services and conducting more legal clinics to better serve you.
We look forward to working with you if we can be of help to you or your community. If you'd like to learn more or are unsure if you may be eligible for our services, please contact us by calling the Legal Aid NC helpline at 866-219-5262, ext. 2657.
Sincerely,
Alicia
