The legal community in Kentucky provides Legal Assistance to Military Personnel in a variety of ways.
For the Warrior Community
Active duty service members may wish to go first to Armed Forces Legal Assistance's
online database to "locate active duty legal activities offering general legal services within the continental United States". Here what is currently
listed for the state of Kentucky:
General-Purpose Resources
Servicemembers, veterans and their families are of course eligible to use the same resources as anyone else.
Private Practice Attorneys
Typically, a lawyer in private practice will listen to your situation for 15 or 20 minutes, then give you an idea about how to proceed, in general terms, without charging you. If the matter is something the lawyer can help you with, but must charge for, sometimes you can work out a military-family discount, especially if you are easy to work with. The
Findlaw website has a
city-by-city list of lawyers in Kentucky who are interested in representing active-duty military personnel, military reservists, and veterans .
For Lawyers
I have not found any Legal Assistance to Military Personnel (LAMP) section or committee with the Kentucky bar. This may be an opportunity for a veteran/lawyer looking to make a difference! Anyone with more information on these or other programs are invited to contact me; the most convenient way is to add in a comment below. The purpose is service!
