About Us

When a veteran has legal issues he or she has an option to volunteer for Veterans Treatment Court instead of going through the regular court system. In almost all cases the Veterans Treatment Court path is more difficult than the regular court path, but veterans are familiar with doing things the hard way.  

If accepted, the veteran is paired with a Veteran mentor and progresses through five stages that usually take about eighteen months to complete. The veteran must maintain absolute sobriety and attend all scheduled appointments or counseling sessions plus appearing in Veterans Court regularly. Veterans choosing this path do so because they want to change their lives to become better citizens and/or better parents or spouses. Once accepted into the Northeast Wisconsin Veterans Treatment Court they become part of a unit dedicated to helping them achieve that goal.

The Northeast Wisconsin Veterans Treatment Court is an entirely volunteer organization!
