Without more details about why you lost your job in the first place, it's a bit hard to direct you to the right resources to solve your problem. However, if you feel you have researched and investigated as many sources as possible and have still not received any useful or satisfactory resolutions, you might try writing your local congressman/ woman. Yes, believe it or not, your local congressional representatives are there to assist you the citizen (and in this case, ex-military) and they do respond to letters of inquiry. You could also try calling them as well, although I think written correspondence is better received. It may take awhile, but they will respond. I know because I've done it, and I was non-military; I should think your position as ex-military makes the situation much more urgent. Don't give up and Good Luck!

This looks like a good listing of resources: http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/veterans/LegalServices.pdf

Several organizations listed nationally and in Florida.

Vernelle: Contact Victoria Collier, Attorney. She wrote a great book on securing veteran's benefits and is a veteran herself. Here is her website: http://elderlawgeorgia.com/practice-areas/veterans-benefits-planning/

Telephone the local Bar Association. Ask them for some references to Attorneys that have experience with your specific type of situation. Call the suggested lawyers and ask what experience they have; their rates, etc. etc.Ask if they can provide discounts or "PRO BONO" (Free) services to military vets. Call the local military installation and ask for their legal department and ask the same questions. Good. luck.
