Dear LAD friend,
Veterans Legal Fair June 17
We will host a Legal Aid and Defender (LAD) Veterans Legal Fair on Monday, June 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The fair is free of charge to Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. It will feature workshops on child support; driver's responsibility, including traffic tickets; expungement of criminal records; Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Income benefits (SSI and SSDI); and Veterans Administration (VA) benefits claims. Light refreshments will be served.
Will A. Gunn, general counsel of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, will address the fair at 10 a.m. Gunn is a retired Air Force colonel who served as a military lawyer in the U.S. Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps. Congressmen John Conyers, Jr. (D-13th District) and Gary Peters (D-14th District) will also speak at the fair. The LAD Veterans Legal Fair will be held in the auditorium of the John D.
