Camp Lejeune Claims in Washington, DC
Washington DC is the seat of the federal government that manages Camp Lejeune litigation — the Department of Justice litigates CLJA cases from its headquarters in DC, and the Department of the Navy JAG office that processed administrative claims operates from the Washington Navy Yard. The DC metro area's veteran community includes many senior Marine Corps and Navy officers who served at Camp Lejeune during the contamination period. Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda provides oncology and neurology care for retired officers and their families.
DC-area Camp Lejeune claimants should be aware that while the DoJ litigation team is located in Washington, all CLJA suits must be filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina in Wilmington. Patricia Nguyen's Arlington, VA-based practice is geographically positioned to serve DC-area claimants with dual VA disability and CLJA litigation needs.
