Here are a few ways a Texas Legal Attorney can assist you after Hurricane Beryl:

Working with Contractors

If you are working with a contractor to repair storm damage, it can be beneficial to involve an attorney. An attorney can review contracts before you sign them and assist you with a consumer protection claim if you believe the contractor has not fulfilled their contract.

Landlord-Tenant Issues

If you’re a tenant in a rental unit, a lawyer can assist you in ensuring that repairs are carried out properly and promptly. They can also advise you on your rights as a tenant, making sure you stay protected.

Insurance Claims

Many Texans in need of insurance can benefit from an attorney’s assistance in understanding their obligations and entitlements from insurance companies, whether it’s health, medical, or life insurance.

Government Benefits

If your property was not covered by insurance for storm damage, you might be eligible for government assistance through FEMA, depending on your location. Seek legal guidance to determine eligibility and for assistance with the application process.

Mortgage and Foreclosure Counseling

If you are at risk of foreclosure or struggling to pay your mortgage, getting help from an attorney can make a difference in whether you keep or lose your home. It’s important to reach out for assistance as soon as you suspect you may be facing foreclosure.

Real Estate Law

If you were in the process of buying or selling your house when the storm hit, the storm damage may cause additional complications in completing the transaction. Seeking assistance from an attorney can ensure a smooth process.
