Money Matters

Whether it is due to an emergency, bad advice, bad luck or bad decisions, money woes and financial hardship has affected most of us at some point or another. We realize this can be a very stressful and confusing time for most, especially for Soldiers with a demanding and rigorous training schedule.

The best thing a Soldier can do during this time is to seek help and advice before matters get even worse. One of the first steps we recommend is reviewing our Fact Sheets and helpful links to specifically address your concern. Next, if you still have questions and concerns, you should stop over to the Army Community Services (ACS) office to speak with a financial readiness adviser, and, if need be, apply for a loan through the Army Emergency Relief (AER) fund. You can reach ACS at 706-545-7517.

If you still have legal questions regarding your financial issue, you may contact our office at 706-545-3281 and make an appointment with one of our attorneys.
