Honor A Great Man and Attend the MLK Grande Parade

In today’s world filled with constant chaos and turmoil, greatness and exceptional character need to be celebrated. History has shown us examples of how to get through troubling times. Some incredible figures have taught us that oppression and injustice do not have to be tolerated. While we could easily name hundreds of people who have made a positive impression on culture and what it values, there is one that no one could dispute: Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a man that constantly fought for equality, but he didn’t fight with weapons, his battle was fought with love, kind words, and peace. While his example is one we should honor every day, in just a few short weeks, we will pay his memory and his message special homage. The annual MLK Grande Parade in the heart of Houston is a weekend filled with exciting events that appropriately honor Martin Luther King, Jr. The event kicks off on Saturday, January 13th at 12:00 pm with the 12th Annual MLK Youth Parade. Expected to attra

The Many Heroes of Hurricane Harvey

Piece by piece, we have been rebuilding the city of Houston. In the midst of tragedy, it’s hard to keep the faith that things will get better. When someone is consumed by sorrow and hopelessness, things look bleak. We’re here to help and inspire those who are struggling. Through this natural disaster, many heroes (some known, many not) rose to the challenge of helping others who were in desperate need. We’d like to take a moment and recognize their efforts. “The Canoeing Surgeon” By far, one of our favorite stories that we have seen surface is the story of a doctor doing whatever it takes to perform a surgery on a patient. Pediatric surgeon Dr. Stephen Kimmel was called in to perform a surgery on 16 year-old Jacob Terrazas, who required immediate assistance. With the severe flooding, Kimmel couldn’t drive to the hospital, which was 10-15 minutes away. So instead, he spent over an hour canoeing, riding in a firefighter’s pickup truck, and even walked the last mile in waist-high w

How Does Water Damage Restoration Work?

In light of the recent events that have happened in Houston, Texas with Hurricane Harvey, we at Camberg Law Firm thought that it would be in the best interest of our community to shed some light on water damage restoration. By now, we hope that almost everyone has been able to restore their homes, or are well on their way of completing the task. It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so here is a breakdown of water damage restoration to help plan for whatever may come in the future. What Does Water Damage Restoration Do? When there is water damage from flooding, sewage backup, or a pipe bursting, the result can be catastrophic to a home and to the people living in it. It’s of extreme importance that water damage is properly taken care of to exterminate any mold or pathogens and help get rid of contaminated water safely. Without the proper tools and equipment, you will not be able to fully dispose of what all lies within the dirty water, including chemical residues, animal

Flood Relief: What Comes Next

Houstonians know the fear, pain, and loss that occurs after a natural disaster. Hurricane Harvey has passed, but has left its mark indefinitely on our community. As we begin to rebuild our lives and our city in the coming weeks and months, it’s extremely important that you know the next steps, and more importantly, your rights when it comes to flood damage. I’ve Just Been in a Flood- What Do I Do Now? There are several safety precautions that must be taken in order to move forward after a flood. Ideally, you should not return to your home until authorities have deemed it safe, and a qualified electrician should assess your home in case of any detrimental damage to your main electrical panel. After you’re given clearance, use extreme caution when entering your home, and check the foundation to make sure that the walls are still sturdy and safe. The flood water can be heavily contaminated with sewage and other pollutants, which can cause sickness and infections. It’s of th
