Lee County Legal Aid Society will host its quarterly free legal clinic May 7 for area seniors in need of limited legal advice in civil cases, including issues stemming from Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Hurricane Milton in 2024. The upcoming session will take place from 9 a.m. to noon at North Fort Myers Public Library, Meeting Room A, 2001 N. Tamiami Trail in North Fort Myers, and is open to county residents ages 50 and older. The event includes a panel presentation by local attorneys on topics in civil law of interest to seniors, with an emphasis on post-hurricane legal issues, including contractor fraud and insurance claims, as well as landlord-tenant disputes, elder law and filing a case in small claims court. The panel’s 30-minute presentation will be followed by an audience question-and-answer session and then 20-minute individual appointments on any legal issue. Participants should email Nanci@leecountylegalaid.org with contact information, a brief description of the legal advice being sought and any relevant documents.
