With her law office flooded by Hurricane Harvey rains, Houston lawyer Karleana Farias asked Facebook friends on Aug. 31 for an office where she could use a fax machine, printer and copier to start the painful ordeal of dealing with insurance companies and FEMA.
Farias, who is partner in Farias Law Firm with her husband Leonel “Leo” Farias II, said she was overwhelmed with the speedy, generous response from other Houston lawyers who responded on Facebook or by text. She said she is touched that even lawyers who are “vicious” adversaries in the courtroom were kind, and she received offers of help from judges and court clerks as well as lawyers.
