Entrusted by the VFW
The Herd Law Firm, PLLC (“HLF”) has partnered with Baird Mandalas Brockstedt & Federico (“BMBF”), who is leading a group of law firms and attorneys, many of whom are veterans themselves or have dedicated their careers to representing veterans.
Welcome VFW members, loved ones, and others affected by the toxic water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
We are honored to be entrusted by the VFW to provide legal representation to veterans and their families for injuries caused by the toxic water at Camp Lejeune.
