VA Military Justice Attorney & Former JAG Lawyer Offering Quality Defense
As a member of any branch of the United States military, you are held to a high standard of conduct. This high standard of conduct can lead to serious issues when you have been charged with a crime; service members facing charges filed under the UCMJ are prosecuted in court-martial proceedings that are both highly complicated and confusing.
If you face court-martial or are under investigation for a crime, it is important to obtain the highest quality defense possible. Our Virginia military defense attorneys leverage more than 20 years of experience to offer detailed defense advice to service members facing a wide range of charges, including:
- Military sex offenses
- Fraud or theft charges
- Violent crimes
- DUI/DWI & drug offenses
Our staff has the knowledge needed to help you understand the many steps in the court-martial process, as well as the rights and options you have when mounting a defense against your charges.
Why Hire a Private Military Justice Attorney?
When service members are charged with a crime, they are entitled to representation from a military-appointed lawyer. Unfortunately, military lawyers face the same stresses you do in your service; pressure-filled demands from superiors, lack of resources and a heavy workload make it difficult for military-appointed lawyers to provide the focused and effective representation your future and freedom deserve. Military lawyers are also handcuffed by the very system they serve – a military lawyer cannot get involved in your case until charges have been filed against you, putting you at a severe disadvantage.
Our knowledge of the UCMJ, the court-martial process and the Article 32 investigation process allows us to work closely with you and your appointed lawyer to plan a defense strategy that offers the best chances of success. Our autonomy from the military justice system also allows us much more freedom when investigating your case; we can help you begin planning your defense even while the investigation against you is on-going, and can devote more time and resources into uncovering key evidence for use in your defense.
