We can assist you with a case involving any of the following aspects of military law:

Court-Martial
The court-martial is a tribunal that tries military violations involving criminal law. It is governed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which can be found under 10 U.S. C. A. §§ 801-940. In the military justice system, the courts-martial are handled by the lowest courts. Judges are commissioned officers who are selected by judge advocates.

Administrative Separation
Enlisted military personnel can be administratively separated with the characterization of service or description of separation. Administrative separation will be issued if it is warranted by the specific facts of the case. Different types of administration separation exist, including entry-level separation and order of release from the custody and control of the military services.

Non-Judicial Punishment
Among each branch of the military, non-judicial punishment is referred to by different terms. The purpose of non-judicial punishment is to discipline service members for minor offenses, such as reporting late for duty. Sentences of non-judicial punishment are limited to penalties such as diminished rations, arrest in quarters, and detention pay.

Letters of Reprimand
Letters of reprimand are a procedure taken by the United States Department of Defense involving a letter to an employee or soldier from his or her superior. These letters detail the wrongful actions of the person and the punishment that will likely follow. If you receive a formal letter of reprimand, a copy will be kept on record.
