Fort Devens - Legal Office

The Fort Devens legal office directly supports the Garrison Commander and staff with respect to Administrative and Civil Law and Labor/Employment Law matters. In addition, the office serves as a regional claims processing office for the adjudication of personnel claims for service members, and eligible civilian employees, assigned or relocating to the New England states.  The office is also responsible for the initial administrative processing and adjudication of tort claims filed against the Army and DoD agencies with respect to incidents arising within the New England states, less Connecticut, as well as the recovery of third party liability medical claims within said states.   

There are no legal assistance services available at Fort Devens and customers are referred either to the Hanscom AFB Legal Office or to the Army Reserve’s 3d LOD in Rhode Island, as applicable.  Notary services are, however, available on a walk-in basis, but one is advised to call ahead to 796-2701 to ensure the notary public is available.
