Legal Resources for Veterans and Service Members

If you serve or have served in the military and need legal assistance, this pamphlet can help you navigate the network of organizations and services available to you.

If you are involved in a legal case, letting the judge know about your military service may enable the court to consider special benefits and protections for you.

• Some examples of potential benefits include:
• Consideration for alternative sentencing and restorative relief
• Diversion in misdemeanor cases
• Additional time in family law cases 

To inform the court about your military service, you can fill out an optional Military Status Form (MIL-100).
