As part of its Veterans' Legal Initiative, the Houston Bar Association will hold two free legal advice clinics for veterans on Saturday, February 28, from 9:00 a.m. until noon. One clinic will be held at VFW Post 8790 at 1560 Foley Street (77055) and another at American Legion Post 560 at 3720 Alba Road (77018).
If you know a veteran or the spouse of a deceased veteran who could benefit from the legal clinics, please encourage them to attend one of the locations. More than 20 attorneys, as well as support staff, have volunteered to staff each clinic. Each site will have family law, probate, and disability specialists.

“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”- Benjamin Franklin
For some, tax season has come and gone. For many others, it’s only just begun. Many are anxiously anticipating refunds, while others are dreading the April 15th deadline.
This time of year, I often receive phone calls regarding filing status and exemptions. While I do not offer tax advice, I strongly encourage clients to consult with a CPA or tax attorney regarding what would be best for them.
Additionally, the IRS has published a guide for Divorced or Separated Individuals. This useful guide explains tax rules that apply if you are divorced or separated, including, selecting your filing status, deciding which exemptions to claim, alimony, child support, property settlements, and deducting the costs of divorce.
Though published for use in preparing 2007 returns, this guide will offer valuable, time saving (and hopefully money-saving) information that will assist you with your 2008 returns as well.
