February 4 Legal Advice Clinic to Serve Houston Veterans

(Houston) ? The Houston Bar Association (HBA) will hold a free legal advice clinic for all Harris County veterans on Saturday, February 4, from 9:00 a.m. until noon at the American Legion Post 490, located at 11702 Old Galveston Road, Houston, TX 77034, across from the main entrance to Ellington Field Air Force Base. No appointment is necessary.

Volunteer attorneys will provide legal advice on issues including family law, wills and probate, consumer issues, landlord/tenant law, worker?s compensation, tax issues, bankruptcy, and veterans? benefits and disability claims. Any veteran or spouse of a deceased veteran can receive legal advice and counsel. Veterans who need further legal representation and meet the eligibility requirements for the HBA?s Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program may be assigned to a pro bono attorney. The guidelines have been adjusted for veterans so that they may have income up to 300 percent above the poverty level and still qualify for services.

The February 4 legal advice clinic is part of the Houston Bar Association?s Veterans? Legal Initiative. The HBA sponsors weekly legal advice clinics at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center, monthly legal advice clinics at the US VETS at Midtown Terrace residential facility, and quarterly legal advice clinics at DeGeorge at Union Station residential facility, as well as at stand-downs and other gatherings of veterans. For more information on services to veterans and for additional upcoming legal clinics, call the HBA?s Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program at 713-333-VETS or visit the HBA website, www.hba.org.
