Legal Aid Town Hall to Offer Free Support for Eaton Fire Survivors

The event will connect residents with pro bono legal experts offering help with recovery and rebuilding

Survivors of the Eaton Fire will have access to free legal assistance at a town hall hosted Wednesday, Oct. 22, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Eaton Fire Collaboratory, 540 W. Woodbury Rd. in Altadena.

The Legal Aid Town Hall will connect residents impacted by the fire with pro bono legal experts offering help with contractor disputes, insurance and mortgage issues, tenants’ and homeowners’ rights, rebuilding guidance, and available legal remedies.

“This town hall represents more than just free legal help, it’s about restoring dignity and stability to those who have lost so much,” said Brandon Lamar, president of the Pasadena NAACP.

Partnering organizations include the NAACP Pasadena Branch, Bet Tzedek, Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, Public Counsel, and Inner City Law Center. Together, they said they intend to ensure equitable access to justice and recovery resources.

The event is open to all residents impacted by the Eaton Fire. It is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP at tinyurl.com/EatonFireSurvivorLegalAid. Eaton Fire Collaboratory, 540 W. Woodbury Rd., Altadena.
