Check Your Jurisdiction
Arrested? You should double check the jurisdiction where you were arrested. They may have a Veterans Court and the police or judge failed to tell you. It happens! If you have a DD214, retired or are on active duty, in the guard or reserve, you are eligible for veterans court if the jurisdiction has one.
