What this benefit is

The Attorney General’s Office of Military Legal Assistance provides pro bono legal assistance and representation to active duty, reserve and National Guard members across a wide area of civil law, and currently assists veterans with wills and powers of attorney.

What it's worth: Pro bono civil representation, free of charge

  • The department describes the programme as providing pro bono legal assistance and representation to active duty, reserve and National Guard service members in a wide area of civil law matters.
  • It states the programme also currently provides assistance to veterans with wills and powers of attorney.
  • It is described as the first attorney-general-led programme offering military communities access to pro bono civil legal services, combining legal aid organisations, private sponsors and the state bar.
  • The department also names legal aid organisations working alongside it in the north and the south of the state.
  • No income limit and no list of excluded matters was published on the page read.

Who is entitled to it

  • The representation runs to the servicemember or veteran.
  • Your home is in Nevada.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

  1. 1Ask early. A pro bono panel matches you to a volunteer attorney, and matching takes time that a court deadline will not give back.
  2. 2If you are still serving — active, reserve or Guard — the wide civil remit is open to you. Say what the matter is rather than assuming it is out of scope.
  3. 3If you are a veteran, the department describes wills and powers of attorney as currently available. Ask about anything else rather than ruling it out yourself.
  4. 4A state veterans service officer can make the referral and is free as well.
  5. 5Take the DD Form 214 or your military identification to the first appointment.
  6. 6If the office cannot take the matter, ask it to point you at the legal aid organisations it works with — the department names them as partners.

Sources

Why only one source type: The veterans department describes the programme on its own page. The Attorney General’s own site rejected every request this session, and the legislature’s statute host refused connection, so no NRS citation is offered.
