Travis legal office starts site for community Published June 27, 2013 By 60th Air Mobility Wing Judge Advocate TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Next time you need a will, power of attorney, or just have a legal question, visit https://aflegalassistance.law.af.mil. The website is designed for active duty and Reserve component members, retirees, and dependents. The website was created to increase efficiency and track client satisfaction with the Air Force Legal Assistance Program. Because it is a public site, clients may access the site's features from the comfort of their homes without a common access card. The site's features include: · Legal topics: Short papers on common legal assistance topics such as wills and family law issues. It also contains links to other helpful sites. · Legal worksheets: Access to online questionnaires for wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. After completing the online worksheet, the website provides each client with a unique ticket number. Data entered by clients is secure and may be accessed only after clients visit their local legal office and provide their ticket numbers to legal office personnel. · Online feedback survey: Following a visit to the legal office, clients are highly encouraged to provide feedback concerning the professionalism and helpfulness of Travis legal professionals. Feedback is both informative and effective and can help us ensure that Travis meets the legal needs of the community. Many clients have visited a legal office to obtain a will or other legal document, and realize after arriving that they need to gather more information or documents from home. Sometimes a client realizes they need to speak with their spouse about an issue. Completing an online worksheet will help to minimize multiple visits. By filling out an online worksheet, clients are able to consider critical issues online prior to visiting the legal office. After receiving a ticket number, a client may take his or her ticket number to the legal office. An attorney or paralegal will then access a client's data with the ticket number. This will reduce the amount of information the client needs to bring and will allow the legal office to streamline the process. While the website increases convenience for clients, everyone should note the following: · Information on the website is for educational and informational purposes only. The website cannot replace a consultation with your local judge advocate general and Airmen should never rely solely on the website when making legal decisions. · Clients will not have the ability to print a legal document such as a will or power of attorney from the website. Clients will need to visit the legal office and provide their ticket numbers to obtain their legal documents. The 60th Judge Advocate looks forward to continuing to serve the Travis community's legal needs and sincerely hopes users find the website helpful. Take a look at the website next time a legal need arises, visit the legal office during our walk-in legal assistance hours, from 8-9:30 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for wills and from 8-10 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for all other legal assistance. Those arriving during the prescribed time will be seen by an attorney that day. The 60th JA values feedback concerning the website and the services it provides, as it continues to look for ways to better serve the community.
