Region Legal Service Office (RLSO) Mid-Atlantic

"Went in for legal advice regarding a court case I had to attend, I came in for a walk in, explained my situation and did some paperwork and only waited for about 40 minutes. Even though they were short staffed I was in and out in less than 2 hours with no complaints. My case wasn't extremely complicated though, so if you have a messy situation the simplicity and ease of your visit may very, I just came in for legal advice and for someone to review some paperwork I didn't fully understand. Overall a pretty reassuring experience, especially for a walk in."

"Waited 1 hour in line. Once at the front desk member was told they only take 9 people for their walk-in window which is from 0745-1145. This information should be broadcasted on the office’s phone voice recording and also on its website. Member’s morning was reserved to handle a significant legal issue and now the member has to reserve another work day morning for the same legal issue."

"LTJG Weaver, James was great! Super professional, great energy, knowledgeable, and truly an amazing attorney to have on my side. Made my legal process quick and completely painless. 10 out of 5 for sure."

"If I could give negative stars. This office is literally worthless. They only recently started actually answering the phones. And it seems that only one guy actually knows what he's talking about. They offer services just to refer you somewhere else. It's definitely always full of pregnant people that very obviously don't want to be there. If you call after 12, it's always the same guy that answers the phone. This entire office has so much internal drama, I think they forget it's supposed to be a resource to the Naval community. Can't imagine anything else being more important than legal issues. Like helping people handle divorces, or establishing a Will, getting things Notarized, or simple legal advice. Kind of what they're there for. If you ask me, this OS2 needs to be fired, blows my mind they let an OS run a LEGAL office anyway. Definitely inexperienced, unqualified, and definitely not mature enough to be in any sort of position of authority. Definitely should be held accountable for the toxic work environment, fraternization, favoritism, and unsolicited inappropriate behavior she constantly displays, from what I have seen myself. Yall are better off going to the Little Creek Office, or googling the Navy's coupon for a free lawyer consult and going somewhere out in town. Or better yet, flood this office so they actually have to do their job. OS2 Lorenzo good luck!"

"We waited quite some time for an attorney otherwise I would have given 5 stars. The attorney that assisted us was very thorough, knowledgeable, gave great recommendations and took her time. She even went so far as to notorize our PoAs when we told her we had to go to a civilian because the regular notary was out of office which was super helpful and beyond her job for us. Aside from waiting, the services were great, paperwork was straight forward and easy to obtain. I'd recommend going in to get the paperwork a day or two ahead of when you want to complete it. Then arrive first thing in the morning to get things reviewed and signed. Schedule a few hours of your morning for this."
