Military Defense 

If you have been accused of crimes under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) or are facing adverse administrative separation, whether it be a Chapter Board or ADSEP board, you need an experienced advocate on your side. Whether you are stationed at Fort Campbell, or any other military base, I can help.

how i can help

Adiminstrative Separation

When you are accused of misconduct in the military, they can initiate an administrative separation. They can be called "Chapter Boards" or "ADSEP Boards" for short. Make no mistake, these are legal proceedings, that require investigation of the allegations, presentation of evidence at hearing, testimony of witnesses, and making legal arguments. I have done numerous administrative hearings during my career. 

Court-Martial Defense

If you are accused of a crime under the UCMJ, or if criminal investigators with the military ask to question you, then you need to call a military lawyer NOW. Offenses under the UCMJ are essentially federal convictions, that could follow you for the rest of your life with adverse consequences. I have experience conducting courts-martial, and I can help you from day one. 

NON-Judicial Punishment

Nonjudicial Punishment has different names for the different services. It can be called Article 15 proceedings or Captain's Mast (or simply Mast). Many servicemembers don't know the command has to meet a burden of proof, and you can even refuse these proceedings. It is essential you consult a lawyer with your options. Being found guilty at nonjudicial punishment could affect the rest of your career. 

Criminal Investigations

If you are being investigated by military authorities or on-base police, you have constitutional rights. Many people don't know you can call and involve a defense attorney right away. I have participated in many on-base criminal investigations, especially as a prior prosecutor myself. Contact me now to preserve your rights. 

ACT NOW

Being charged or investigated for commission of a criminal offense is a zero-sum game, and many times, your very freedom is at stake. I have prosecuted both military and civilian crimes, and now I can help defend you.
