Legal Assistance:

• The American Bar Association's Military Pro Bono Project
  The American Bar Association's Military Pro Bono Project connects active-duty military personnel to free legal assistance for civil legal issues beyond the scope of services provided by a military legal assistance office. This web portal has been created to allow case-handling military attorneys to refer financially eligible servicemember clients to the Project, which will then make every available effort to place the case with a volunteer pro bono attorney qualified to assist the client with the legal issue.
