@EqualJusticeMA #IWalkforJustice

@Vetslegal recently Walked to the Hill for @CivilLegalAid. Thank you @MassGovernor + all reps for your support! “[I]t was just an enormous stressful load taken off of my shoulders when VLS showed up...It was a difficult time…and all of that stress is gone now.” - MA Veteran

A veteran's message to Veterans Legal Services' supporters: "...this shows me that there is fairness and justice..." Are you able to help support this work? Donations of all sizes help achieve these outcomes. Where would James be without this support? veteranslegalservices.org/donate-to-vls

⚖️ Are you a lawyer who is curious about ways to give back? Our veterans need your help! 🇺🇲 VLS seeks pro bono attorneys to take case assignments. VLS Pro Bono Director Angie Vargas Martin is happy to help identify the right pro bono opportunity for you! veteranslegalservices.org/probono

Grateful you're on the team, Franklin!

Thank you to our supporters including: VLS's pro bono attorneys, major funders Bill & Diane Asher, @bwforg, @BostonBar, @cummingsdotcom, Scott & Patricia Eston, @HighlandStreet, @MassBarFdn, @CivilLegalAid, Mifflin Memorial, @yaleappliance , + an anonymous Vietnam War veteran.

A veteran's message to Veterans Legal Services' supporters: "I would like to thank [them], because it changed my life."

It's Black History Month! Did you know: After World War II, Black veterans were denied GI Bill benefits that White veterans received? “So if we wonder…why there’s a 13, 14, 15, maybe even 20 to one gap in wealth holdings, that’s a piece of it.” youtube.com/watch?v=7a6fZi…

@Vetslegal Pro Bono Director Angie Vargas Martin is celebrating 6 years at VLS! 🎉 Angie directs VLS's pro bono program of 365 attorneys from across the state. If you are a MA lawyer interested in volunteering, Angie would love to hear from you! veteranslegalservices.org/probono.

This week! Team @vetslegal will walk to The Hill for civil legal aid. We can think of no better time to tell our legislators that, as Attorney Susan Anderson wrote below, "It's only justice if it's equal." equaljusticecoalition.org/walk/. #IWalkforJustice @EqualJusticeMA @CivilLegalAid

Team Veterans Legal Services is so proud to shout out VLS Law Student Advocate Jack Brandt, who has been selected as 1 of 8 students nationwide for 2026 Law Student of the Year by The National Jurist! suffolk.edu/news-features/…

For some, the holidays can be difficult. Confidential help is available 24/7/365. veteranscrisisline.net The end of a relationship. Loss of a job. Housing instability. Feeling a loss of purpose. Some of these may become a crisis. Support is available to all.

Accomplishments include hiring/supporting 6 attorneys + 1 paralegal, adding a clinic in Lawrence, and adding a virtual clinic. The result is that veterans have better access to the support they need + we're continuing to build to do even more. Thank you and congrats, Cindy!! 👏

Today marks 2 yrs since Cindy Palmquist joined @VetsLegal as Colonel Ruby W. Linn managing attorney and VLS accomplished so much as a result! Thank you to VLS's supporters, especially the Colonel Ruby W. and LaVon P. Linn Foundation.  veteranslegalservices.org/donate-to-vls

@vetslegal is continually improving its tech to efficiently serve more veterans. We recently transitioned to @LegalServer, a new case management system, and added a texting feature to communicate with veterans Thanks @yaleappliance for supporting part of this major tech upgrade!
