The Rutherford and Cannon County Bar Association is offering free consultation for MTSU student veterans and their families Saturday, April 23.
"The Rutherford/Cannon County Bar Association has reached out to our student veterans and their military families in order to address their current legal needs in a gracious pro bono fashion," said Keith M. Huber, senior adviser for Veterans and Leadership Initiatives, who retired as a lieutenant general from the U.S. Army after nearly 40 years of service.
"This group of patriotic lawyers, several who are veterans themselves, has taken their time to research the specific needs of our veterans and will provide a tailored team to specifically address these identified issues," Huber added. "I personally appreciate and respect this clear demonstration of community commitment for our veterans by this group of professional leaders."
The 30-minute consultation with a licensed attorney will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. in the Veterans and Military Family Center, Room 124, in Keathley University Center.
To schedule an appointment, contact Jennifer Brown by email at Jennifer.Brown@mtsu.edu or call 615-904-8347.
