Where can I find a lawyer to hire to help my case with my medical discharge? -

I am being medically discharged from the US Army and I have to go to Fort Houston to fight for more benefits for the injury that I suffered. Where can I find a lawyer that I can hire, a civilian one? Also, one that does not ask for money up front would be wonderful. Thank you.

Your state bar association has a lawyer referral service. For instance, in Texas it is www.texasbar.com. There are plenty of civilian lawyers with appropriate experience. Ask for a contingency contract. That means that the only way the lawyer gets paid is for him to win your case and collect money, from which he will take a percentage (30% or more). If no longer will take it on contingency, they are telling you that winning and collecting are unlikely.
