Military-Specific Programs
The Florida Bar has a Military Affairs Committee
The scope and function of the Military Affairs Committee is twofold: first, to gather and disseminate information, share expertise, and advise the members of the Bar on all matters relating to the practice of military law in Florida, and second, to have general jurisdiction regarding any problem which may arise relative to the provision of legal services to, for, or by members of the military establishment.
Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida’s (CLSMF) Veterans Advocacy Project is committed to helping low-income, elderly, or disabled Central Florida military veterans and/or their families with their civil (noncriminal) legal needs at no cost.
