My Nonprofit Reviews

My great grandfather, grandfather and father all served in the U.S. Armed Forces, all three in theaters of war. And while I am proud to have gone to law school and now run my own law firm, regrettably I did not follow in my family's footsteps. I always thought about my missed opportunity to keep the family tradition of service alive when I was approached by VLI with a unique opportunity to provide service to our service members in my capacity as an attorney. 5 years ago I began providing pro bono legal service to veterans through VLI as my way of keeping my family's history of service going. In that time I have helped numerous veterans obtain justice when they otherwise would have been locked out of exercising their rights. In 2021 VLI honored me as their Attorney Advocate of the Year and my father, Capt. H.S. Roberts, USMC ret. was able to attend the ceremony and be honored himself for his service as a Vietnam veteran. In giving me the opportunity to help veterans, VLI allows me to serve America in recognition of my forefathers.
