September 14, 2011 Media Release
(New Bern, NC) –Legal Aid of North Carolina
(LANC) began serving clients this week from its new office at
607 Broad Street in New Bern.
The LANC-New Bern Office’s previous location on Neuse Boulevard was
destroyed in a fire on August 6.
“Since
the fire, we have continued to assist clients but primarily by
telephone and at remote locations,” said David Caddigan, managing
attorney of Legal Aid of NC’s New Bern office. “At our new location
at 607 Broad Street, we believe we have a
convenient and professional office. Parking is also available
at that location.”

LANC-New Bern Office serves eligible clients in Beaufort,
Carteret, Craven, Jones and Pamlico Counties. LANC’s legal
staff helps children, families, individuals and eligible immigrants
who cannot afford a private attorney to solve problems that affect
their basic needs, such as the prevention of homelessness and
eradication of substandard housing, safety from domestic violence or
abuse, health care (Medicare or Medicaid), subsistence income (SSI
or Medicaid) and consumer loan problems by providing direct legal
assistance to individual clients and conducting community education
and outreach.
