The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program

The Veterans Consortium provides free legal services to help Veterans get the benefits they earned. Created by Congress and leading Veteran Service Organizations, such as The American Legion and Disabled Veterans of America, we train and mentor volunteer attorneys to fight for Veterans’ rights. The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program was founded in 1992 to provide free legal services to Veterans and their families, caregivers and survivors in federal venues free of charge. During its 30+ years of service, The Veterans Consortium has provided 84,000+ service members with free legal advice, taken on 7,900+ pro bono cases for qualifying clients, trained 6,700+ attorneys for ongoing pro bono work for veterans, and succeeded in 83% of cases.
