COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — The Rocky Mountain Veterans Advocacy Project (RMVAP), a partner of the Mt. Carmel Veterans Services Center, will be expanding its legal services.
Starting January 16, 2026, their on-site legal services will expand from monthly availability to weekly availability for service members, veterans, and their families.
RMVAP is a legal nonprofit firm that offers representation and advocacy through student externs from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of Wyoming.
“No veteran should face these challenges alone, whether advocating for service-connected disability benefits, correcting an unjust discharge status, or defending veterans in legal proceedings."
They cover cases involving the following;
- VA disability compensation appeals
- military discharge upgrades
- family law
- estate planning
- housing
- employment disputes
- representation in criminal defense
- personal injury matters
RMVAP aims to help its clients navigate the Department of Veterans Affairs, military discharge review boards, and state and federal courts.
