Rural Outreach for Veterans
Legal Consultations for Veterans in Rural Missouri
Tigers for Troops is a rural outreach initiative that provides free legal consultations to veterans on VA disability benefits and military discharge upgrades.
Since its launch in 2019, the program has focused on reaching counties without veteran service officers, ensuring that veterans in even the most remote parts of Missouri have access to resources they normally would not have.
In its first phase, Tigers for Troops successfully provided consultations in every rural county in Missouri. With that geographic milestone achieved, the program is now deepening its presence, working to establish the Veterans Law Clinic as a trusted legal resource for veterans statewide. The Tigers for Troops Program is directed by the Clinic’s Thomas Fellow.
Upcoming Tigers for Troops Events:

CLE Training
Training a Statewide Pro Bono Network
As Tigers for Troops grows, it is expanding its mission beyond direct services. A key new initiative focuses on building a statewide network of pro bono attorneys trained in veterans law. This network will increase the Clinic’s capacity to serve veterans by connecting them with local legal professionals who can provide informed, high-quality representation.
By training and supporting volunteer attorneys throughout Missouri, Tigers for Troops is working to ensure that every veteran—no matter where they live—has access to knowledgeable legal help
