Ohio Military / Veterans Legal Assistance Project

The Ohio Military / Veterans Legal Assistance Project (OMVLAP) is set up to connect low-income veterans (and some active duty personnel) with volunteer lawyers willing to represent them pro-bono in matters of landlord/tenant evictions, credit card debt, employment law, and uncontested divorce and dissolutions.
OMVLAP anticipates most veterans seeking this legal help will be from the Iraq and Afghanistan eras, however this service will be available to all low-income Americans who once deployed with our nation’s military.

OMVLAP is an evolving project: the initial pilot will focus on legal issues arising in Franklin and contiguous counties, with the hope of soon connecting services throughout Ohio.
