Legal Assistance

Legal Assistance Services

Region Legal Service Office Northwest

General

Legal assistance is an authorized service provided to active duty and retired service members and their dependents, as well as certain reserve components and other selected personnel.  All eligible personnel will be required to show proper military identification.  The primary focus is on active duty (including recalled reservists) service members facing deployment in the immediate future.  On rare occasions, it may be necessary to curtail legal services to non-deployers for brief periods of time, if an emergency situation arises where immediate services must be provided to large numbers of deploying personnel.  RLSO NW requires active duty to be in uniform unless in a leave status.
