LEGAL AID – Veteran’s Legal Aid Clinic

These are the detail for the selected resource:

Organization: Veteran’s Legal Initiative
Description:

The program provides free legal advice and legal representation to U.S. veterans. Any veteran, or spouse of a deceased veteran, can get advice and counsel at one of the clinics offered by the VLI at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center or at one of the community clinics.

Low-income veterans who need further legal representation in civil matters and meet eligibility guidelines can be assigned a pro bono attorney through the Houston Volunteer Lawyers, a public service of the Houston Bar Association. The Veterans Legal Initiative is made possible by grants from the Texas Access to Justice Foundation, the Houston Bar Foundation, and the Texas Veterans Commission.

Low-income Houston-area veterans: Please visit the HBA’s Houston Volunteer Lawyers website, www.legalhelphouston.org, to apply online for virtual clinics and pro bono services.

If you are a veteran with a question about legal services, contact:
713-228-0735 or veterans@hvlp.org
