Civil Service Employees Eligibility

Civil Service employees at Hill AFB who are being ordered to duty at a deployed, overseas location are eligible for only limited services directly related to the deployment. Those serving overseas and family members residing with them and entitled to an ID card may receive mission-related legal assistance similar to that provided to active duty personnel and their families. Otherwise, civilians are not eligible for legal assistance and notary service.

Types of Services Provided

The Legal Office can provide advice concerning personal, non-business, civil legal problems, including preparation of some legal documents, taxes, and assistance in drafting letters for your signature. We are limited to assisting only those eligible clients with noncommercial, noncriminal matters.

It is imperative 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 get advice as soon as possible since delay rarely makes things better and the law may limit your remedy if you do not act quickly.
