Providing Life-Changing, Free Legal Services to Low Income and Homeless Veterans
About us
A public interest law firm utilizing a pro bono model, the Veterans Legal Institute is a new nonprofit unique in its veteran-centered nature that provides free legal services to former and active service members. There is a tremendous gap in legal services for low income, homeless and at risk veterans. VLI seeks to fill that gap and remove barriers to housing, healthcare, education and employment. Having an attorney advocate for benefits for a former service member who suffers from the wounds of PTSD, sexual assault, traumatic brain injury, or mental illness can be life changing both psychologically and economically. Further, VLI is excited to advocate on behalf of veterans who were separated from the military due to their PTSD. With recent information from the Department of Defense indicating that PTSD should be considered in upgrade cases, VLI attorneys will be sure to zealously advocate to ensure that former service members receive the benefits they deserve. The list doesn’t end there- our clients need assistance with estate planning, landlord-tenant, expungements, family law and more. We are actively growing our pro bono attorney and volunteer database to address these needs.

𝗩𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗟𝗔 𝗩𝗔 𝗖𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗨𝗦 Check out this powerful article written by VLI Executive Director Antoinette Naddour, Esq., LLM on the recent legal victory for veterans regarding the West LA VA Campus. In Powers v. McDonough, the court ruled in favor of veterans, paving the way for the construction of 1,800 permanent housing units and 750 temporary supportive units to help address veteran homelessness. This decision brings renewed hope for the campus to fulfill its original purpose—providing critical housing and care to veterans who have been underserved for too long. While challenges remain, this is a significant step toward ensuring veterans get the support they deserve. Read the full article to learn more about the case and its impact on veterans in Los Angeles. #VeteransLegalInstitute #VeteransSupport #WestLAVA #VeteranHomelessness #PowersvMcDonough #LegalVictory #HousingForVeterans #VeteranStories #SupportOurVeterans #VLI #OC #MilitaryFamilies #Empowerment #JusticeForHeroes #LawyersForWarriors #DiamondAnniversary #AdvocacyForVeterans #Celebration #Army #Navy #Marines #AirForce #CoastGuard #SpaceForce #Veterans #LegalAid #OC
