Lawyers Serving Warriors®

NVLSP’s Lawyers Serving Warriors® (LSW) program offers pro bono (at no cost to veterans) legal help with 4 DOD issue areas to veterans from all eras and veterans located anywhere.

We partner with volunteer lawyers from over 100 national law firms and corporate legal departments to assist veterans and service members in securing the DOD benefits they have been wrongfully denied. LSW attorneys leverage their expertise to train and mentor volunteer lawyers so they are prepared and qualified to handle LSW-referred pro bono cases before the DOD and in court. LSW also partners with pro bono lawyers on class action litigation involving systemic issues impacting these 4 DOD programs.

LSW attorneys are experts in the DOD matters of:

Discharge Upgrades

Medical Retirement

Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC)

Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance Traumatic Injury Protection Program (TSGLI)

LSW encourages online applications for the 4 DOD matters we handle.

If you need additional assistance applying for one of the 4 DOD matters we handle, you may contact LSW.intake@nvlsp.org or call 202.265.8305 Option 5 and leave a detailed message, indicating which of the 4 DOD matters you are applying for.

LSW does not accept applications for assistance with VA claims, criminal law, family law or any other issues. LSW is not a referral service and only accepts queries regarding the 4 DOD issue areas we handle.
