Veterans Helping Veterans
Over the years, we have phased out all the above successful programs having achieved their desired goal and focused on running the Veteran Legal Clinic and Veteran focused seminars.
HRT operated a Veteran Legal Clinic at VFW 3787 Post Mission Valley on the 3rd Saturday of every month from 9:00 a.m. to Noon.
We assisted over 2000 Veterans from 2008-2020 with all legal issues.
The most common issues that Veterans bring to us are discharge upgrades, DD 214 code upgrades, VA disability claims, landlord tenant disputes, family law cases, credit improvements and small claims issues. We produced a SitRep for the Post Commander on the type of legal service provided.
The total value of the legal services rendered in 2020 dollars: $1,700,000

Packing the boxes became a community event with the care packages being transported to the US mail post office by the Ghost Buster limousine. The crowd would go wild during the sendoffs.
