The National Veterans Legal Services Project (NVLSP) is a wonderful organization dedicated to America's veterans and our families. They just did a nice "puff" piece and video on me. NVLSP and its co-directors are acknowledged by the entire veteran community as instrumental in forcing VA to honor many commitments to veterans.
From military sexual trauma, immunizations, toxic exposures, unfair discharges, and many other causes have found NVLSP and its volunteer attorneys, law school veterans law clinics, and associated law firms to be powerful allies. Always pro bono.
In my own experience, NVLSP and Bart Stitchman brought their expertise, as well as that of the Yale School of Law, into the fray our C-123 Veterans Association was having as we fought for Agent Orange exposure care and benefits from the VA. It took some years, but success was sweet, indeed, when Bob McDonald signed the regulation (38 U.S.C.§ 3.307(a)(6)(v) (the "C-123 Rule") for us on June 18, 2015.
NVLSP has never charged veteran clients for their service or even expenses. For example, they saved our C-123 Association over $75,000 just on fighting for FOIA responses, something the Air Force didn't seem eager to release.

NVSLP and Perkins Coie have represented us pro bono before the US District Court in Washington, successes that were noted by the Federal Bar Association in 2018, and at the USAF Board for Correction of Military Records. Bart and his colleagues are top-rated for their proper use of donations. NVLSP is one of the Combined Federal Campaign agencies. I encourage all veterans to consider helping other vets by donating here.
