We can help members of the military and their families during a criminal or divorce case. Our legal team prides itself on aggressively fighting for our clients and always pursuing the best possible outcome. 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.
