Veterans' Rights

Our firm has a long and active tradition of providing pro bono legal services in support of veterans and their families. Representative matters include:

• Secured a significant US Supreme Court victory in March 2011, when the Court ruled unanimously for the firm’s client, David Henderson, a Korean War veteran who missed the deadline for filing an appeal while hospitalized for his disability, in Henderson v Shinseki.
• Combating sexual assault in the armed forces by representing numerous assault survivors in legal proceedings, and by advocating for systemic changes in how the military addresses sexual assault.
