Attorneys in Japan are dealing with disaster survivors asking for advice concerning paying debts, and even paying employees.

Those asking for advise have lost everything; jobs, homes, businesses, etc.

Apparently there are no legal parameters in Japan for dealing with legal issues that will arise from a catastrophic event.

One attorney, who is also a disaster survivor, has been offering free advice.  Most of the time he tells the people that they must wait until the Japanese parliament comes up with new laws to handle the situation.
