HOUSTON, TX — In commemoration of Veterans’ Day, the
Houston Bar Association (HBA) will hold a free legal advice clinic for
all Harris County veterans on Saturday, November 13, 2010, from 9:00
a.m. until noon, at the American Legion Post 560, 3720 Alba Road,
Houston, TX 77018. 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 Harris County 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 November 13 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,
call the HBA’s Houston Volunteer Lawyers Program at 713-228-0735 and
ask for Mickey Baden, attorney in charge of veterans services.
