Connecticut Veterans Legal Center (CLVC) provides free legal representation, advice, and referrals to veterans in every town in Connecticut.
As a recovery-focused organization, CVLC serves veterans through a medical-legal partnership (MLP) model in which we partner with Veterans Administration Hospitals (“the VA”) and other connected providers to foster holistic support for veterans alongside their clinicians. Our attorneys represent veterans in almost every type of civil case related to our core mission of removing legal barriers to income, housing, and healthcare.
