Military Defense Lawyer
Court Martial Defense
A Court-Martial is a federal trial which can result in jail time, sex offender registration, a punitive discharge, a federal conviction, forfeiture of pay and more. Having an experienced, aggressive, and hard-working lawyer is imperative for those accused.
Separation Board Defense
The Administrative Separation Process is the military’s way of attempting to fire someone. Service members facing an administrative separation risk losing their job and/or getting a less than honorable discharge.
Investigations
A service member can be under investigation by several different agencies. Proper legal representation during an investigation is crucial and can help prevent follow on adverse actions.
Nonjudicial Punishment Defense
Nonjudicial punishment can lead to loss of rank, pay, and a service member’s time and liberty. It can also be career ending. Service members have important rights when facing nonjudicial punishment that should be explored with an experienced attorney.
Letters of Reprimand
Letters of Reprimand can be a permanent mark in a service member’s otherwise impeccable personnel file. A proper response and/or appeal of a letter of reprimand can lead to its removal.
Security Clearance Revocation
Some service members cannot perform their jobs without their security clearances. It can be a confusing process; however, service members are allowed to appeal their security clearance revocations.
Discharge Upgrades
When a service member receives any discharge besides an Honorable, they lose some VA benefits for that period of service. A service member has the ability to petition for their discharge to be upgraded. An effective, well written, and evidence-based request can lead to the restoration of VA benefits.
Veterans Claims
The Department of Veterans Affairs can deny a Veterans claim for numerous reasons. The process to appeal a decision is confusing and difficult to figure out. The assistance of a quality lawyer can greatly increase the chances of success for a Veterans claim.
Evaluation Responses and Appeals
A negative or mediocre evaluation report can effectively end a service member’s career. Service members have many ways to respond to and appeal evaluation reports.
Medical/Physical Evaluation Boards
The medical separation process is one of the most confusing processes to go through for a service member. Few people understand it. There are several elections and chances to respond to findings during the process that should be discussed with an attorney.
Property Loss Investigations
The Government will sometimes attempt to charge service members for lost items. Despite what is commonly thought, complex legal analysis must be completed before this can be done. Service members should consult with an attorney before ever accepting a bill for property loss.
Force Reduction Boards
The services frequently attempt to force service members in certain categories out to reduce numbers without much due process. Service members should consult with an attorney if they are notified that they have been selected by one of these programs.
