King County Executive Dow Constantine and the University of Washington School of Law today announced a new free civil legal services clinic to help King County’s veteran community obtain Veterans Affairs benefits.
Today King County Executive Dow Constantine and the University of Washington School of Law announced a new partnership to open a free civil legal services clinic for veterans, servicemembers, and their families.
Starting in early 2025, law students will work with the Veterans Clinic to provide free legal advice, representation, and services to veterans seeking benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other legal assistance.
“The Veterans Clinic not only provides free civil legal services for veterans and their families, helping those who have served our country secure the benefits they deserve, but it helps to train and create a network of qualified attorneys specializing in the needs of veterans,” said Executive Constantine. “After completing their training, with the expertise gained by working in the clinic, these future lawyers can continue to serve King County’s veteran community.”
