Types of cases we handle
Court-Martials
One of the most serious disciplinary measures in the military is the court-martial. A court-martial is a legal proceeding within the military justice system that addresses serious offenses committed by active service members.
Some offenses that could result in serious legal action may include:
Similarly to civilian criminal proceedings, the court-martial process follows a structured legal framework, including an investigation, hearings, and a trial. If the Court proves the individual is guilty, they could face dishonorable discharge, confinement, pay forfeiture, and more.
If you are facing court-martial, you must consult with a qualified legal team. While the military has a similar process to civilian courts for addressing severe offenses, there are distinct differences that not all attorneys are qualified to address.
Why You Need an Attorney
When facing legal and disciplinary action, it is essential to remember that you do not have to face the future alone.
