Veterans in need of legal assistance can visit a free legal clinic in Fort Bend County this month.
Any veterans or spouses of deceased veterans will be able to receive individualized legal advice and counsel from a volunteer attorney in a variety of law areas including family, wills and probate, consumer, real estate, tax, and disability and veterans benefits, according to a Houston Bar Association press release.
Those who need continued legal representation and who qualify for legal aid may be assigned a pro bono attorney to handle their case. No appointment is necessary.
The clinic, scheduled for June 11, is a service of Fort Bend Lawyers Care, the Fort Bend County Bar Association, and the Houston Bar Foundation’s Veterans Legal Initiative, which is a coalition of local bar associations providing free legal services to veterans in 18 Texas counties.
The event will be from 9 a.m. to noon at the Richmond VA Outpatient Clinic at 22001 Southwest Fwy., Ste. 200, Richmond.
For more information about the clinic and other available services for veterans, contact the Veterans Legal Initiative at 713-759-1133 or visit hba.org.
