In this episode of Carlsbad People, Purpose, and Impact, Bret Schanzenbach interviews Michael Stinnett, founder and director of Shield Legal Services. Michael shares his journey from serving as a Navy aviation ordnance technician, to studying political science and law, to working with the Department of Justice and National Security Agency, and ultimately finding his calling in veterans’ legal advocacy.

After helping veterans in Washington, D.C. navigate housing, disability benefits, and access to critical resources, Michael realized there was a major gap in San Diego—home to thousands of transitioning service members. Shield Legal Services was born out of that need, with the mission of making legal support more accessible to veterans at risk of homelessness.

Michael discusses the hurdles veterans face when navigating VA benefits, the importance of early preparation before leaving the military, and his vision to expand Shield Legal Services with the right funding and community partnerships.
