Hurricane Harvey contractor problem

Question:

Is there any legal assistance for veterans dealing with contractors from Hurricane Harvey?

Jim's Reply:

This is one of the many times that our status as veterans doesn't carry any weight. Unless you have a problem with a home you own that is on a VA loan note, you're a civilian and will have to go to the usual civilian legal processes. If your home is financed with a VA loan, you may have some luck with talking to the lender and the VA although realistically, they aren't particularly concerned unless you're defaulting on payments.

  • PS from StatesideLegal:  Use the "Find Legal Help" map on StatesideLegal to look for LSC or LRS providers in your community.  Many have prioritized disaster relief to help victims of hurricanes or other disasters and may be able to help you.
