LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell customers in Haiti tell their stories

"We are truly grateful for your kind words and your generous offer. Fortunately many of our immediate families are safe but we did lose some staff and relatives in the earthquake. Our office suffered some damages but this is of lesser importance compared to the Human toll we have taken. Although we are striving to resume work, we had to halt for a while to honor those fallen, assist those in need and to care for our respective families.

We plan to fully resume work this coming Monday and we would appreciate the posting in the site and network to that effect. As you have guessed, none of the phone numbers work but I am listing all of our working cell phone numbers which can be posted to our account and in the post:

Gary Lissade: 509-3454-7815 / 509-3558-6212 / 509-3725-7989

Salim Succar: 509-3452-2287 / 509-3558-8365

"Thank God we are alive and our law firm is still operational. However, some lawyers in our firm have lost their houses. Most of them are temporarily lodged at the office. Many lawyers in Port-au-Prince Bar Association are victims. We would like to help them. Our law firm is ready to receive any aid to distribute it to our colleagues.

As proposed you can post a message informing our law firm is operational, the mailing address is the same.

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely yours,

I thank you for your generosity in waiving our contribution for the year 2010. With the Court Hall destroyed as well as the main government agencies it is more than possible that our business will be slow.

Thank God, our lawyers are alive and the law firm has not suffered too much damage. We have resumed work this week and I am grateful for your help in letting the legal community know that we are operational. The phone lines are not working, but we can be reached through the internet at www.pgalaw.org and by mobile at +(509) 29 44 28 28 or +(509) 29 44 29 29.

Many thanks again

Thanks for your support. Lawyers these days in Haiti are facing a very difficult time. In 35 seconds, for many of us, all the work of a lifetime has gone, vanished. It is going to take years to rebuild this country. I hope that a better future is ahead for us lawyers…the office is operational and we are reachable at cabinetvieux@yahoo.fr and at (509)2511-6055.
