The Veterans Legal Clinic focuses on the civil legal needs of veterans in the central Illinois community. Students provide high-quality legal help in civil matters such as family law, expungements, consumer disputes, and estate planning matters. The Clinic also assists veterans with service-related matters such as discharge upgrades. Students collaborate with local veteran service organizations and an in-house social work student to holistically address the needs of their clients.
If you are a veteran who has a civil legal issue, please email law-clinics@illinois.edu or call 217-244-9494 to speak with our staff and see if a free legal consultation is appropriate for your situation.
