The Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program has become a beacon of hope for thousands of veterans across the United States. With a commitment to providing essential legal support, this national nonprofit organization trains legal professionals from prestigious law firms, corporations, and academic institutions to offer their services pro bono to veterans in need. As 2025 draws to a close, The Veterans Consortium proudly reports significant achievements in its mission to empower veterans. By the end of the year, over 7,500 trained pro bono attorneys will have provided invaluable legal assistance to more than 89,000 service members. These dedicated attorneys have taken on upwards of 8,700 cases, resulting in a remarkable success rate of 83%. The backbone of these impressive results is the extensive training, mentorship, and the provision of legal clinics, all made possible through the generous financial contributions from a network of partners. Financial support from various organizations underpins the training programs, legal clinics, and outreach efforts essential for The Veterans Consortium's operations. Several organizations are recognized as key partners in this initiative. The Victory for Veterans Partners, for example, play a critical role in funding trainings and outreach events, ensuring that veterans receive the help they deserve. In recognition of their substantial contributions in 2025, the organization's gratitude extends to a diverse array of partners — from program partners like the Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust to command partners like Baker Botts L.L.P. and many others who have dedicated resources to this noble cause. The Veterans Consortium is equally appreciative of its Veterans Service Organization (VSO) partners that help guide administrative leadership and program funding. These include well-respected organizations like The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The scope of issues that The Veterans Consortium addresses is vast, ranging from denied VA benefits appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and cases related to "Other Than Honorable" discharges associated with PTSD to challenges faced by women veterans, particularly issues stemming from Military Sexual Trauma. The organization is also actively involved in helping veterans secure citizenship related to their military service. The motto, "They fought for us—now we fight for them," resonates strongly within the community, underlining the commitment of The Veterans Consortium and its partners to continue advocating for the rights of veterans. As the year comes to a close, it is imperative to acknowledge and celebrate the efforts of those working tirelessly to uplift and support veterans in every capacity. These collective endeavors highlight how collaboration among various sectors can lead to significant changes in the lives of those who have served our country. Through these relationships, The Veterans Consortium aims not only to provide immediate legal assistance but also to foster long-term solutions that will have a lasting impact on the lives of veterans and their families. Looking ahead, The Veterans Consortium plans to expand its reach and improve its services, ensuring that no veteran feels alone in their quest for justice and support.
