The National Association of County Veteran Service Officers (NACVSO) partners with Ashcraft & Gerel LLP for Veterans

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Association of County Veteran Service Officers (NACVSO) and the law firm of Ashcraft & Gerel LLP have entered into a Memorandum of Agreement whereby Ashcraft & Gerel LLP has agreed to review, at no cost or obligation, any potential claims under the newly enacted Camp Lejeune Justice Act for clients of NACVSO's member Veteran Service Officers.

The mission of NACVSO is to provide education, training, certification, and support of its member Veteran Service Officers so veterans and their dependents nationwide can receive the benefits which they have deservedly earned. The Camp Lejeune Justice Act created an avenue whereby veterans and their dependents can seek compensation from illness and death caused by the toxic water the United States Government provided to Marines and their families for over thirty years. 

Ashcraft & Gerel LLP will provide an objective review of the facts and circumstances of the individual case and provide a consultation with a firm attorney about the matter. The veteran or dependent has no obligation to the firm and is free to engage Ashcraft & Gerel LLP or any attorney of their own choosing should they decide to pursue a claim.
