He passed away in his home in NM. There is no probate filed and he had no will. As his mother, do I have a case for his estate?

If your son was not married at the time of his death and did not have... Read more »
In Texas . If your child lives within the parents household and doesn't have a stable income they can get drafted for 1 to 2 years. Is this true?
answered on Jan 25, 2023
The United States armed forces currently are not drafting anyone. It has been an all volunteer force for more than 40 years. It is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future

You don't mention what type of case you are asking about. If it is a claim for service-connected compensation, I or another attorney can review your case and no attorney can charge you for that. The same is true for a Social Security disability claim. An attorney can discuss the case with you,... Read more »
Before I left I told my sergeant at the time that I was leaving and he told me to go take care of my family. I have been gone for almost 14 years and I wish to go back to clear my name. I need an advice from jag as to what I should do or where the best place would be to go to do this.

There are rules that govern when in-state and out of state tuition should be charged. (When I was in school, after being employed in Texas for a year, I qualified for in-state tuition - so I paid out of state tuition for only the first year, and then switched to in-state tuition.)

I am a former LANG guardsmen who deployed with the LA guard and was awarded by the VA 100% permanent and total disability for PTSD arising from my deployment and I was denied the $100,000 benefit.. what can I do to follow up about this?
answered on Sep 27, 2021
I recommend contacting a lawyer that handles VA disability appeals. I assume you are seeking an earlier effective date for your 100% P&T disability, but it is unclear from your question.

If you are an adult, it is difficult to pursue a medical malpractice claim against the VA that is over two years old. There are some very, very limited exceptions. But for the most part, you cannot win the case based on time issues.

The statute of limitations is generally 5 years, with some exception that do not seem like they would apply to your situation. Regardless, you should not ever speak of the matter with anyone. Hope that helps.

This is not a criminal law question, so I cannot answer it. The question, I believe, is more properly a military law question having to do with the requirements for full benefits upon retirement of a person with such a problem in his/her past. It may also matter whether you were convicted (that is,... Read more »

This question is unclear, I do not understand what you are asking here.
My family member was recently detained by the police and he’s in the process of getting deported is there any way with me in the military do anything to help? If so what should I do ?
answered on Jan 22, 2019
Not just by virtue of being in the military. But I suggest consulting with an immigration attorney who handles removal defense in your area to see if there are options.
answered on Dec 18, 2018
Generally, spousal support, eligibility for TriCare coverage, and military retirement pay.
To see how it applies to you, consult with a family law attorney.
