Veterans often face a host of legal issues stemming from their time served and their adjustment back to civilian life, such as housing, income instability, benefits, and discharge upgrades. LegalHealth attorneys help veterans navigate the complex benefits systems.
Whether a veteran served in World War II, the Gulf War, or Post-9/11, LegalHealth attorneys provide culturally competent, trauma-informed legal services at VA Hospitals. LegalHealth also opened the nation’s first-ever legal clinic exclusively serving women veterans, many of whom have experienced military sexual trauma.
LegalHealth engages in national and state policy advocacy with other groups committed to ensuring veterans’ access to benefits. Following the standdown tradition in the military, LegalHealth developed Legal Standdowns, community and education forums at VA hospitals.
