Provide principled counsel and premier legal services, as committed members and leaders in the legal and military professions, in support of a ready, globally responsive, and regionally engaged National Guard. 

Our Legal Assistance attorneys can provide you with confidential advice and assistance pertaining to a wide variety of legal issues including:

• Services such as wills, living wills, notarization, powers-of-attorney, or other legal assistance. You must call to schedule legal services. The office does not provide services on a walk-in basis. 
• Legal Assistance is available to members of the Nebraska National Guard and their family members, retired military personnel and their family members, and survivors of members of the Armed Forces who would be eligible if the service member was alive. 
• Legal Assistance Attorneys provide advice on most personal legal matters, review legal documents such as contracts and leases (if they are not related to a private income-producing business), and prepare wills, correspondence, and other legal documents.
• Issues on which advice is provided include wills, credit matters, repossessions, consumer complaints, living wills, health surrogate forms, and powers of attorney.
• The services of the Legal Assistance Office are provided without charge.

Appointments are only available during JFHQ drill weekends
