Legal Service Program
Occasionally, most of us face a legal issue or have questions on legal matters that require the assistance of an attorney. Federal Occupational Health is here to help. We provide consultation and referral services for a wide range of legal issues.
You can easily access the Legal Service Program by calling our toll-free telephone number. You will be connected with a licensed attorney for a telephone consultation. This attorney, who practices in the applicable state, will listen to your concerns and discuss your options under the laws that apply. The telephone consultation is offered at no charge. Office visits or services from a participating attorney at discounted rates are also available. Examples of legal services include:
- Healthcare Power of Attorney
- Living Wills
- Housing or real estate matters
- Estate planning
- Family law, such as divorce, child custody and child support
- Car accidents and related matters
- Financial concerns
- Consumer concerns
- Criminal matters
The Legal Service Program does not provide advice on issues regarding the program, its employees, or other providers or attorneys associated with the program, or on matters relating to your job. The legal service program does not provide advice on any matter that is frivolous, harassing, or otherwise a violation of ethical rules.
