GM In-House Lawyer Helps Fund Mobile Legal Clinic for Veterans
Chris Johnson, a top in-house lawyer at General Motors, believes strongly in supporting military veterans because he's one himself. So when a Detroit law school wanted to expand a legal clinic for veterans, Johnson was ready to assist. By passing the hat among his fellow GM executives, Johnson raised $120,000 to help the clinic purchase and customize a specially outfitted van. The mobile clinic is now helping veterans across the country file for federal benefits that they're eligible for but aren't getting.
