Free Legal Clinic For those impacted by the Gulf Oil Spill

Panama City, Florida – Legal Services of North Florida, Inc. (LSNF) attorneys will be hosting a
FREE Legal Clinic to assist low-income residents and small business owners who want advice
on their eligibility under the BP Oil Spill claims process. Individuals and small business owners
will be able to discuss their claim with an attorney. The clinic will be held Monday, February
4, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Bay County Government Center located at 840 W.
11th Street room #1030, Panama City, FL. 32401. Walk-ins are welcomed, but attendees with
appointments will be given first priority. To request an appointment, call (850) 769-3581.

All participants in the clinic will have an opportunity to discuss their claim with an attorney
unless a conflict of interest is found. Free full representation may follow if the claimants
meet eligibility requirements. While our LSNF attorneys may not be able to fully represent
every claimant in their claim, this is a great opportunity to get legal advice and direction.

Legal Services of North Florida (LSNF) is a private non-profit agency dedicated to providing
free legal representation to low-income people with civil legal problems from five offices in
Tallahassee, Quincy, Panama City, Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola.  For information on the
office location nearest you go to www.lsnf.org.

LSNF is participating with other legal aid programs in five Gulf states–from Texas to Florida–
and is collaborating under a grant funded by Gulf Coast Claims Facility and administered
by the Mississippi Center for Justice, a nonprofit law firm. Legal assistance is offered
independent of the Gulf Coast Claims Facility and is available to clients whose income is
below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. Funding for the project is also being provided
by the Fund for Gulf Communities-Florida, a project of Catholic Charities of Northwest

Florida funded by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisers.

For claimants unable to attend the clinic, advice and counsel can be obtained by calling the
statewide legal help hotline at (855) 299-1337.
