PONO Legal staff and volunteers work with individuals and families impacted by the Maui fires to help them with disaster legal aid issues, including:

• Insurance: Drafting formal letters to your insurance company

• Construction: Screening contractors and reviewing your building contracts

• Estate Planning: Drafing your wills and trusts to safeguarding your assets for future generations

• Tax: Understanding how your financial assistance impacts your taxes

• Real Estate: Addressing questions about property ownership to clarify your legal rights and responsibilities

There are many other ways PONO Legal can help you! We have partnerships with attorneys who specialize in immigration, housing and landlord-tenant issues, employment, and other areas of law implicated by the Maui fires.

Through collaborating with our Hawaiʻi-based partners, including Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Legal Aid Society of Maui, Maui County Bar Association, and Hawaii State Bar Association, we strive to help as many impacted individuals as possible, while at the same time reducing duplication of legal assistance efforts and waste of resources.
