Corriveau: Mobile Law Office to Assist Veterans on June 29

Statewide tour to stop in Plymouth, provide legal assistance to low-income veterans

— June 23, 2009

LANSING – State Representative Marc Corriveau (D-Northville) today encouraged area veterans to take advantage of the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law's Mobile Law Office, which will visit Plymouth on Monday, June 29. The visit is part of Project SALUTE – a statewide program that provides free legal assistance on federal benefits claims to low-income veterans.

The mobile law office will stop in Plymouth on Monday, June 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at PlymouthCity Hall, 201 S. Main St.

"It's important that the brave men and women who put their lives on the line fighting for our country have access to the services they need," said Corriveau, who served in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1994 to 2001. "The claims process can sometimes be difficult to navigate, so I encourage veterans who need help to take advantage of the free services available through Project SALUTE. I want to make sure they receive all of the benefits they've earned."

The mobile law office is a specially outfitted 31-foot recreational vehicle that has been on a statewide tour providing legal counseling and assistance. Volunteer attorneys and law students working with Project SALUTE have assisted more than 2,000 people at senior centers, churches and other community centers during the past year. According to Project SALUTE, there are more than 290,000 veterans located in Wayne County and the surrounding counties.

For more information, contact Corriveau's office toll-free at (877) 20TH-REP (208-4737), or by
e-mail at MarcCorriveau@house.mi.gov.
