The Project

I am an advocate for civil legal aid. Many veterans are confronting legal problems that are complicated by their service in combat zones or by disabilities arising from service. Many of the civil legal issues that veterans face are unique and are usually linked to the benefits that veterans are entitled to. I am privileged to have been chosen to serve veteran clients and to help my clients navigate the federal, state, and local governmental agencies that are in place to serve them.
