Indiana Lawyers For Soldiers

Indiana Lawyers for Soldiers is an amazing network of volunteers who give legal services for Indiana National Guard personnel & families who are deployed or returning from a deployment. The following information is taken directly from their website.
Soldiers in need of legal assistance are referred to attorneys who volunteer their time and experience to assist the myriad of legal issues that arise during the deployment of these local heroes.

Soldier Registration Information

 As a member of the Indiana National Guard, if you or a family member is deployed or returning from deployment and is seeking legal assistance, please complete the online application -

Your online application will be forwarded to the Indiana National Guard. Thereafter, you will be contacted by the Indiana National Guard personnel to complete the screening and eligibility process.
After the Indiana National Guard has approved your case for the program, you will be matched with a volunteer lawyer based on the information provided in your application, namely (1) description of the legal issues, and (2) your location in Indiana. Once your case is assigned to a lawyer, he or she will contact you directly.
