“Everyone at Northwest Veterans Law has transitioned from active duty to the civilian work force. We know how important it is for employers to provide the training, mentoring, and support necessary to foster growth and success of veterans following military service.” says Mark Ronning, Managing Attorney and Founder of Northwest Veterans Law. “For that reason, top priority is to hire and invest in the professional development of veterans.”
Northwest Veterans Law joins 848 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service.
