Senator Andrew J. Lanza Announces
Legal Services Clinic Series for Veterans
Free civil legal services are available for veterans, current service members and military connected family members
I am proud to have secured funding in this year's State budget to support New York Legal Assistance Group's (NYLAG) Veterans Legal Assistance Project. In support of Staten Island's veterans, I will continue hosting NYLAG attorneys at my district office for a series of one-on-one legal clinics. Veterans, current service members and military connected family members are invited to schedule a free appointment with a NYLAG attorney on civil legal issues.
Legal Issues That Veterans Can Discuss With NYLAG
- Veterans Benefits: VA service connected compensation, VA non-service connected disability pensions, accessing VA healthcare, discharge upgrades
- Consumer Protection: debt matters, bankruptcy, mortgage and foreclosure issues
- Family Law: child support, custody/visitation, uncontested divorce
- Housing Issues: eviction prevention, landlord disputes, unsafe or hazardous housing conditions
- Advance Planning: last wills and testaments, medical advance directives, powers of attorney
- Public Benefits: Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security Disability (SSD), Supplemental Security Insurance (SSI), SNAP (Food Stamps)
