Attorney volunteer Keith Anderson helps a client at the Veterans Help Desk
Our "Serving Veterans" program is a great way for attorney volunteers to give back to those who have served our country. At the Veterans Help Desk, held the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at the Birmingham VA Medical Center, attorneys help veterans resolve unjust evictions, enforce habitable housing, become financially secure, and resolve fines and fees preventing them from obtaining identification and securing employment.
"It is our honor to be able to help veterans in Alabama resolve legal barriers so that they can lead happy and successful lives,” says Nancy Yarbrough, executive director of VLB. Click here to volunteer.
