Our attorney Ranie Thompson spoke to 74 Boston area attorneys and law students about FEMA recoupment appeals at the Massachusetts Bar Association's Boston office on January 29. These Boston attorneys and law students have volunteered to help Louisiana Katrina victims with appeals of FEMA recoupment decisions.

Thanks to the Massachusetts Bar Association, Steve Fischbach, Tom Arnold, the Boston bar and law schools for their work in organizing this volunteer project.

Ranie Thompson is an Equal Justice Works Katrina Legal Fellow at our New Orleans office. Her fellowship is funded by the global law firm of Latham & Watkins, Equal Justice Works and the JEHT Foundation.
