Your Attorney Is Good for Your Health!

THE NEXT BIG HEALTH SECRET Why Seeing an Attorney May Be Good for You!

And according to recent studies, it may be good for your health too! According to NPR, a 2017 study of Veterans Affairs offices in Connecticut and New York found that veterans who saw clinic attorneys reported improved mental health within three months after their initial meetings.

This can powerfully help people who are facing potentially life-altering legal situations. So, while your attorneymay not be able to performheart surgery or help alleviate your knee pain, their expertise may be just what you need to feel better in the long run.
