Veterans in need of some legal help on issues like benefits and disability will have an opportunity to get free assistance on these matters in Lansing on Tuesday, November 27.

The University of Detroit Mercy Mobile Law Office will be in Lansing in appreciation of the legislators' generous support to establish the Veterans' Law Clinic and will be on display on Capitol Avenue in front of the Capitol Building from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

The Mobile Law Office will move on to the Volunteers of America premises located at 430 North Larch Street from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. where pro bono lawyers and supervised law students will be on hand to answer questions and provide legal assistance to low-income veterans. 

The Mobile Law Office Outreach Project was established in 2004 through a grant from the Access to Justice Fund.
