CLA Chair
In celebration of MLK day, CLA Chair and Director of Region IX of the National Bar Association, Terrance J. Evans, joined affiliates of National Bar Association Region IX, which hosted pro bono legal clinics throughout Los Angeles County in January to assist the victims of the LA wildfires.
“It was an honor to give back to our community. Volunteers provided helpful information to homeowners, renters, and small businesses owners regarding Insurance, FEMA, Forbearance Agreements, SBA loans, temporary housing, and other resources,” says Evans. 
Special thanks to Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, Inc., The John M. Langston Bar Association, California Association of Black Lawyers, National Bar Association, NBA Region IX, and all of the community organizations that partnered with us, including, but not limited to: Victory Bible Church, Calvary Baptist Church of Santa Monica, and First AME Church of Pasadena.
