It is best to plan ahead to avoid the usual pre-deployment/pre-transfer crunch, and, in general, to avoid having legal problems become legal emergencies.

A valid military ID card is required for all services. Legal emergencies might be seen without an appointment. Please call or stop by to have your case screened.

Limitations on Legal Assistance Services

Claims

If you have any loss or damage to your personal property you may need to file a claim. Use the front of DD Form 1840/1840R to notify the mover of any loss or damage you find at the time of delivery. If further loss or damage is discovered after the transportation provider departs, use the reverse side of the form, DD Form 1840R. You must file DD Form 1840/1840R within 70 days of delivery. Completing and submitting the DD Form 1840/1840R does not constitute filing a claim. A claim is separate and distinct from these forms. Your local personal property office and claims office will give you complete instructions on where and how to file DD Form 1840/1840R and your claim.
