Local attorneys offer free hotel rooms to families displaced by fires

VALLEY VILLAGE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire have left a trail of destruction. Neighborhoods are in charred ruins and blackened ash. Thousands have had to make the heartbreaking decision to leave their homes behind.


"My friend lives on the street. She told me her house went down. It was obvious my house went down," said Altadena resident Ariana Perez.


"What you see here is just my clothes, it's all I have. I couldn't take anything else," said Altadena resident Edwin Isaacs.


In the face of this devastation, Gina Zapanta and Mike Alder, a couple from Sherman Oaks, have stepped up to provide support to those in need.


"We have our businesses here, our homes here. Also being lawyers, helping people with their legal needs but it goes beyond that," Zapata said.


Both practicing attorneys, Zapanta and Alder have opened their law firm in Valley Village as a safe haven for those affected by the fires. They have also booked hotel rooms throughout the Valley for evacuees and families who lost their homes
