The Colorado Lawyers for Colorado Veterans program needs volunteers to help make phone calls and or take cases. They have started a clinic in Colorado Springs that has tripled their case load. Below are veteran cases that are in need of volunteers. Please review the below summaries and reply to Carolyn if you can help. Lawyers may take on a case either pro bono or, depending on the status of the client, on a low fee, bundling or modest means basis. Even a phone call is helpful to these veterans.
