Legal Aid of East Tennessee is proud to serve our Veterans through our Pro Bono Project. The Pro Bono Project links financially eligible veterans in our area with private attorneys who have agreed to assist without accepting attorney fees. Many of our pro bono attorneys are veterans themselves and understand some of the unique problems our Veterans face. In addition to Veteran benefits, we are able to assist in a wide range of areas that include, but are not limited to, housing, family and consumer law. We are, however, federally prohibited from assisting with criminal cases. Veterans with legal concerns are urged to contact Legal Aid of East Tennessee in Chattanooga at (423) 756-4013.

What is a family Assistance Center?

Family Assistance Centers (FACs) are designed to assist the families of military service members during peacetime and during training or mobilization. A FAC is open to all branches of the military (Air Guard, Army Guard, Active Duty Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy and all Reserve Components).
A Family Assistance Center provides a "one-stop shopping” & resource to help family members cope with any issue they encounter as a military dependant.

Who is eligible to receive services through a FAC?

All military members, veterans, and their families are eligible to receive assistance.
No military personnel or his/her family will be turned away from a FAC regardless of branch affiliation.
