Legal Assistance

The Air Force has a legal assistance website that provides helpful articles and information on a variety of issues. You can fill out worksheets for wills and powers of attorney in advance so that you can save time at the legal office.

The Office of the Staff Judge Advocate is located on the second floor of the Consolidated Support Center, Building 1403. Our office can provide advice on personal, civil legal matters to active-duty military personnel (including reservists and National Guard members on active duty), retirees, Department of Defense civilian employees and dependents.

We advise on many areas of support to include: notary service, powers of attorney, wills, divorce and family law, claims, tax assistance, landlord-tenant, consumer affairs and more.
