Military Defense Lawyers
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 Actions
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.
GOMORs
GOMORs can be a permanent mark in a service member’s otherwise impeccable personnel file. A proper response and/or appeal of a GOMOR can lead to its removal.
Security Clearance Revocations
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.
ROTC Disenrollment
ROTC Cadets can be disenrolled from their program, be required to pay the federal government back (recoupment), and receive a less than honorable discharge. Before doing so, Cadets do receive due process and have the opportunity to defend themselves.
Promotions
Military promotions can be held up for a variety of reasons. A well-written letter to the president of the promotion board or rebuttal to a promotion review can make all the difference.
Flying Evaluation Boards
The Military can attempt to prevent pilots from flying in the Military or terminate their FAA ratings. Before doing so, pilots are afforded due process where they can defend themselves.
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.
