Free Legal Help for Military & Veterans in GA

Great News for Georgia's Service Members, Veterans and Their Families

The State Bar Association of Georgia has launched a program to provide coordinated and free legal services to military personnel and veterans. Mike Monahan, Director of the program, and Norman Zoller, Coordinating Attorney, visited the CSRA Wounded Warrior Care Project Transition Round Table today and briefed on the program.

We also plan on including Augusta area attorneys in our next Transition Round Table to better connect the local legal community with our ongoing efforts to streamline the system. The round table provides the platform for networking and harnessing resources dedicated to transitioning service members, veterans and their families.
