Next time clients need a will, power of attorney or just have a legal question, they can visit the new Air Force Legal Assistance Web site at https://aflegalassistance.law.af.mil.  

The Web site is designed for active duty and reserve component members, retirees and dependents.

Officials created the website 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.

--Legal worksheets: Access to online questionnaires for wills, living wills and powers of attorney. After completing the online worksheet, the website provides each client 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 officials.

--Online survey: Following a visit to the legal office, clients are encouraged to provide feedback concerning the professionalism and helpfulness of our legal professionals.
