Legal Help for Veterans

Many veterans never apply for or receive the benefits they deserve. Swords to Plowshares is one of the few organizations in the country to provide free attorney representation, case management, and advocacy to veterans seeking benefits. The Legal Unit at Swords has successfully helped veterans of all ages and backgrounds access the VA benefits and medical care they have rightfully earned.

The attorneys at Swords have been practicing VA law and representing veterans for decades. They are some of the leading experts in the country, winning more than 90 percent of cases followed to conclusion. In fact, we win hundreds of thousands of dollars in VA disability compensation and pension for veterans each year, at no cost to the veteran.

Our legal team specializes in:

  • VA benefits claims and appeals
  • Military discharge upgrade reviews
