AIMilitary Legal Advocacy Project


Help for our Afghanistan and Iraqi Veterans.

The AIMilitary Legal Advocacy Project provides legal advice and representation to veterans, and their families, who are serving or have served in either Afghanistan-Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) or Iraq-Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).  We provide legal advice, counsel, education, and representation to veterans and their families who reside in Sarasota, Manatee and Pinellas Counties. 
  • Our service includes:   legal representation in claims and appeals before the Department of Veteran Affairs, defending inappropriate discharge or rating, applying for dependent and survivor benefits and obtaining military records. 
     
  • Our civil legal advice includes:  accessing social security benefits, housing issues, including foreclosure, consumer related issues, access to healthcare and mental health resources, employment rights, and family and domestic violence issues.
Our legal advocacy project attorney, Kenneth Wilson, is a Department of Veterans Affairs accredited attorney and Navy veteran.  He is located in our Sarasota office and can be reached at 941-366-1746.
