Clinic offers vets free assistance

Veterans who need legal advice or legal assistance can visit a free legal clinic on Aug. 20 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the Richmond VA Outpatient Clinic, 22001 Southwest Freeway, Suite 200.

No appointment is necessary. Any veteran, or spouse of a deceased veteran, can receive one-on-one advice and counsel from a volunteer attorney in any area of law, including family, wills and probate, consumer, real estate, and tax law, as well as disability and veterans benefits. Veterans who need ongoing legal representation and who qualify for legal aid may be assigned a pro bono attorney to handle their case.

The clinic is a public service of the Houston Bar Foundation’s Veterans Legal Initiative. The Richmond clinic is cosponsored by Fort Bend Lawyers Care and the Fort Bend County Bar Association.
