About:

The Veterans Law Center (VLC) is a free walk-in legal clinic that serves low-income veterans and their families. Volunteer attorneys, along with paralegals and law students, provide brief legal advice, information and referrals on a variety of civil legal matters. Additionally, staff from the Dane County Veterans Service Office provides information about military benefits and other resources available to veterans.

Note: If you have concerns regarding veterans' benefits, your county Veterans' Service Office (VSO) should be your first point of contact. Every county in WI has a Veterans' Service Office. In Dane County, the VSO is located in the City-County Building (210 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Madison, WI 53703), and can be reached at (608) 266-4158.

Unrepresented veterans, active military service members, and their families. No income guidelines.
