Legal Assistance

Our Legal Assistance for Warriors (LAW) program provides extensive pro-bono representation and reduced-fee assistance to eligible Rhode Island veterans in a variety of areas.

We work with eligible veterans in initial applications for VA and Social Security Disability Benefits, misdemeanor criminal matters before the Rhode Island Veteran Treatment Court, license restoration matters at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal / RI DMV, Landlord Tennant and limited Family Court cases. (*) VA Disability and Social Security Disability Appeals are handled on a reduced fee contingency basis requiring no out of pocket expenses for the veteran. OSDRI’s lawyers are experienced and accredited by the U.S. Department Veterans Affairs to represent veterans in the VA claims process.
