Other Legal Issues

Preparing a will and filing adoption papers aren’t the only occasions for which you’ll likely need the help of an attorney. Legal assistance is useful in a variety of situations, from reviewing leasing agreements to designing a family care plan.

An attorney can review your lease or rental contract before you sign it to be sure the terms are acceptable and that the agreement includes any military rental protection clauses for your state.

Notaries can administer oaths, witness signatures and take acknowledgements, sworn statements, affidavits and more.

If you’re having credit problems, suspect you’re the victim of a scam or have a dispute over a consumer issue, legal assistance attorneys can often help you communicate and negotiate with collection agencies, lawyers and other parties.

If you have been charged with driving under the influence on or off your local military installation, you should consult your military defense counsel. They can provide confidential advice while allowing you the right to hire a civilian defense attorney. If you are facing criminal charges off the installation, then the military defense counsel cannot represent you in civilian court.
