Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans: Making a Difference by Meeting Veterans’ Legal Needs

Published: Nov. 5, 2020, 6:23 p.m.

Ten years ago, the State Bar of Texas launched Texas Lawyers for Texas Veterans (TLTV) under the leadership of 2010-11 Bar president Terry Tottenham. A former Marine, Terry saw the plight of many Texas veterans experiencing poverty and homelessness and implemented TLTV to provide pro bono legal services to both them and their families. Podcast host Rocky Dhir welcomes Terry and fellow past bar president and veteran Richard Pena to talk about what TLTV has accomplished in the past decade and how Texas lawyers can offer their help to veterans in need today.

Terry Tottenham is Of Counsel at Norton Rose Fulbright and served in the United States Marine Corps.

Richard Pena is president and CEO of the Law Offices of Richard Pena, P.C., and a Vietnam veteran.
