Happy Veterans Day! At Legal Aid of Manasota, we are proud to be able to offer civil legal aid to veterans in need. Today and every day, we are so grateful to those who have served our country.
We were honored to take part in this weekend’s Veterans Stand Down event, hosted by JFCS Suncoast, with so many wonderful other local organizations. The event provides an array of services for veterans, including medical checkups, benefit reviews and amnesty court.
