For the Public: Client Assistance Fund

The Client Assistance Fund was established in January 1974 by the Nebraska State Bar Association. Its purpose is to reimburse a client who has suffered a financial loss due to the dishonesty of an attorney.

You may request a claim form from the Client Assistance Fund Committee of the Nebraska State Bar Association at 635 South 14th Street, P.O. Box 81809, Lincoln, Nebraska 68501-1809 or click on the application form below.

When you receive the claim form in the mail, fill it out as completely and accurately as possible. Attach copies of any documents or correspondence that would help to substantiate your claim. Have the claim notarized and return it to the committee, keeping a copy for your records. If you need assistance filling out the claim form, a member of the Client Assistance Fund Committee will assist you at no charge.
