The Military Assistance Project was established to provide free legal services for active duty, reserve, or veteran military personnel in the form of pro bono bankruptcy services. The program creates partnerships between Military personnel, pro bono Attorneys, and the philanthropic Partners in Philanthropy who provide funding for our organization. When bankruptcy becomes necessary, Military Assistance Project provides servicemen and servicewomen with attorneys and legal resources to enable them to obtain a fresh start.

Legal professionals with existing skills in bankruptcy are able to affect great change by offering a service they are already equipped to provide. MAP legal services are strictly Chapter 7 related. The average case takes about 15 hours of attorney/paralegal time.

Accounting professionals who take a vested interest in military matters may also desire to donate their time and services to the Military Assistance Project. CPAs willing to take on pro bono matters on behalf of veterans can serve as volunteers with MAP, as well. Whether helping a veteran with budget templates, making recommendations on loan renegotiation, or assisting with credit repair, CPAs provide a much needed service to military personnel who are struggling with debt issues.
