Note to Attorneys:
Since VTC's beginning in Montgomery County we have seen a huge amount of participation from attorneys assisting veterans and soldiers. We hope that support will continue and grow. It is up to you to help future participants make their first steps into our program. The VTC Team is doing their best to make this process as efficient as possible. Your dedication to your client's well-being is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your hard work!


-Best Regards
