Veteran's Problems

LAF's new Veteran's Project represents veterans and their dependents in
pursuing disability and pension claims, dealing with consumer issues,
upgrading discharges, and obtaining or keeping employment or housing.

Because the Project is new, people with questions about the scope of its
services are urged to call LAF's main downtown number for further
information. More Veteran Atty's needed... pass this on to Chicago area

Legal Assistance Foundation of Metropolitan Chicago
111 W. Jackson Blvd. 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60604
Phone: (312) 341-1070 . Fax: (312) 341-1041

Each year hundreds of attorneys, law students, college students, and other
professional and community volunteers assist LAF in solving the legal
problems of thousands of Cook County's most vulnerable residents. Some
people volunteer for only an hour or two a month; others are full time.
Volunteers do everything from interpreting and translating to client
interviews to factual investigations to legal research to handling cases in
court and before administrative agencies. Whatever they do, LAF volunteers
make a significant difference in people's lives.
