Legal Assistance

Legal Assistance

We provide legal services to Fort Bragg & the local military community.

We are located in the Client Services Office in Wing D of the Soldier Support Center, 1st Floor. If you enter the Soldier Support Center through the main doors, turn left at the information desk and go down the hallway. Client Services will be on your left across from Retiree Services.

Welcome and thank you for visiting the Fort Bragg Legal Assistance page! We offer a wide range of services to all individuals entitled to our legal assistance.

Eligible clients

If you are entitled to legal assistance, our office can provide advice concerning personal, non-business, civil legal problems, including preparation of some legal documents. We are limited to assisting only those eligible clients with noncommercial, non-criminal matters.

It is very important that you ask the legal office to review and explain questionable legal documents before you sign them. If you are unable to resolve a problem yourself, it is best to seek legal advice as soon as possible since delay rarely makes things better and the law may limit your remedy if you do not act quickly.

Please remember: In general, Army regulations and staffing considerations do not permit our attorneys to represent you in civil court. Except in very rare circumstances, you will need to engage a civilian attorney for any in-court representation that is required.
