How to Incorporate Veterans Law into Your Private Practice

How to Incorporate Veterans Law into Your Private Practice
Thursday February 7, 2019 | 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Program Fee: Free for Members and Non-Lawyers | $15 for Non-Member Lawyers

Description: 
The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is the nation’s newest and busiest federal court, hearing thousands of appeals each year from veterans denied their service-related benefits.  More than 70% of claims submitted by veterans are denied, and many veterans lack effective representation at any stage of the submission or appeals process.  Despite overwhelming need, the number of practicing Veterans Law attorneys remains relatively small—including in New York City, home to more than 210,000 veterans. This program will feature current Veterans Law practitioners who will share their experience, knowledge, advice, and tips on how they’ve incorporated Veterans Law into their law practice—and how you can, too.
