    Judge Judy and Your Case I’m a huge Judge Judy fan and I think there is a ton lawyers should learn from her courtroom antics.  The AP had an interesting piece today about Judge Judy’s universal appeal and continued great ratings. Judge Judy combines the audience’s desire for entertainment and legal drama, all while steering [...]

  • What is Justice?January 31, 2013 - 5:56 pm

    Everyday, the wheels of justice spin thousands of times throughout the country.  We have a machine set to process the masses and the public largely has no idea what has happened.  Cases are minimized to packaged arguments by counsel for each side, and sentences are delivered through formulas.  Is it justice? ‘Military Justice’ is Different [...]

  • Military Command Obsessed with SexJanuary 22, 2013 - 10:32 am

    In many respects, the military is destroying its strength by its obsession with the exercise of moral policing.  Months ago, I wrote about the hypocrisy in the Petraeus/Allen scandal.  I wrote about the hundreds of careers those two generals ruined because of their exercise of moral police in the interpersonal relationships soldiers engage in with [...]

All Military Cases

Sexual Assault Defense

Sexual Assault Defense

I have defended and prosecuted dozens of military members accused of sexual assault.  In fact, I was the Air Force’s first Special Victims Unit member.  That means, I know the military’s secrets to prosecuting sexual offenses and can exploit that knowledge to your benefit.  I believe our justice system demands the absolute best lawyer for those accused of UCMJ violations.  I believe I’m the best for you!

Major Crimes

Major Crime Defense

The military has a stated policy of prosecuting Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen, even if they allegedly committed a crime off base/post.  In some cases, the military is poorly equip to handle serious major crimes.  This represents a significant possible advantage if you hire the best military defense lawyer.  When facing serious criminal charges, military law often gives far more rights and privileges than a civilian court would to a defendant.  Did you know you have the right to demand the military pay for all of your necessary and relevant expert witnesses?  The best military defense lawyer will exercise all of your rights, will find you the best expert witnesses, and will give you the best chance at victory.

Drugs

Drug Defense

Drug related offenses in the military are often considered the most winnable cases for a military defendant.  Some military judges have stated the conviction rate in a urinalysis case is under 10%! The drug labs have historically unreliable and untrustworthy methods.  The military juries need to hear about the errors in the past, which may raise reasonable doubt sufficient to secure an acquittal in your case.  You need the best military defense lawyer.  A lawyer that knows the errors the lab has made, has grilled most of the government experts, and knows the traps the prosecutors often fall in.  More…

All UCMJ Cases

Defense for all UCMJ Violations

No allegation of violation of the UCMJ is too small to not take seriously.  Prosecution, whether under Article 15 or by Court-Martial will have long lasting a serious impact.  A conviction in military court is a federal conviction.  That, alone, is a punishment you will have to live with the rest of your life.  It is a title many employers won’t look past, especially in a job market as desperate as it stands today.  Your assigned military defense lawyer often has too many cases and is too good of friends with the prosecutors to truly see what is in your best interest.  You need the best military defense lawyer, no matter how small they tell you your case is.
