This clinic is sponsored by the SC Attorney General’s V.A.L.O.R. Program. V.A.L.O.R. stands for Veteran and Armed Forces Legal OutReach.

We’ve had great response to the clinics we’ve held so far.”
At the clinic, veterans, members of the Reserves, and active-duty military will be able to obtain legal documents such as basic wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. This event will be held with the support of Greenwood County Veterans Services and various local attorneys.
