Stuart A. Steinberg

            Stu is an Army Vietnam veteran who served with explosive ordnance disposal teams during his two tours in Vietnam. He was awarded two Bronze Stars, one with "V" Device for Heroism; the Purple Heart, two Army Commendation Medals; and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry. He has a Bachelor of Arts from Goddard College, Plainfield, Vermont a J.D from Franklin Pierce Law Center, Concord, New Hampshire and an L.L.M. from Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, D.C. 

            He is one of the first members of Vietnam Veterans of America and served on the National Board of Directors from 1985-1987. From 1983-1989, Stu was involved in the founding of nine state-funded veterans' outreach centers in Massachusetts and was the Director of the Greenfield center in 1985-1987. Stu is certified by Vietnam Veterans of America and the US Department of Veterans Affairs to represent veterans in VA claims. Assisting veterans with their claims has been an important part of his life.  He is extremely successful in getting claims approved.

            Stu retired in 2003 after thirty years as a public defender and a criminal defense investigator specializing in capital murder cases. He worked in Michigan and Oregon and still gets calls to assist with capital cases.

            Stu was one of the founders of Central Oregon Veterans Outreach, Inc. (COVO) and was instrumental in setting the organization on a firm legal footing.  He has worked tirelessly to assist veterans all over the US and indeed the world in getting the benefits due them.

            One of his clients worked for the UN in Afghanistan in law enforcement and training the Afghan Border Police. He convinced Stu to join him.  Always ready for adventure Stu signed on.  He has been in Afghanistan since the first week of December.  His blog stuinafghanistan.blogspot.com is (besides being very funny) a glimpse of day to day life in Kabul. 

            When not in Afghanistan lives with his wife Mona, several horses, at least 4 dogs and two cats in Crooked River Ranch Oregon.  Stu has one son, Jonas lives in Minnesota and attends the University of Minnesota.  The staff, board of directors and clients of COVO eagerly await his return.
